**1. Reading:** Textbook **pages 72-82**, //"The Interaction of Visual Elements: Establishing Hierarchy"// __**and**__ Handout from //Typographic Design: Form & Communication// by Meggs, Carter & Day (Prof. Han's book), **pages 62-69.**=====


 * Quiz #4** in class on the reading (__from both books__), on Tuesday.


 * 2.** Choose your final design concept for the album artwork. Now that you have established which concept & Booklet layout you will move forward with, you can carry the concept over to the Tray Insert and Disc Label. Do complete sketches of what your Tray Insert and Disc Label layouts will look like, using a grid. {Remember the design principle of //Unity// is important here.}. //If you have access to the design software, PLEASE continue working on your project—You do not want to lose time on a project if you are able to use the software between classes.//

**So, for class on Tuesday, bring with you:**
 * **Your rough draft/working InDesign file for your Booklet**
 * **A COMPLETE SKETCH in your process book of your Tray Insert, its grid; and A COMPLETE SKETCH in your process book of your Disc Label and its grid. Be ready to complete your booklet AND your tray insert in class on Tuesday. We will then work on the disc label. You will only have 1 week left to finish all parts and do the presentation, so keep up the pace!**


 * Look at the examples in Chapter 5 of the textbook—You will see that the grid you use does not have to be the same grid for the different pieces of the CD artwork—But remember to create //flow// and //unity// throughout your design pieces : )
