Week+4


 * ---5 minute break--- **

====This "mini-project" will be mounted and due next Tuesday (in 1 week) and we will use our studio time this Thursday to finish it. This project can be printed in black & white on 8.5 x 11" paper. Our upcoming "major-projects" will be printed at a printer!====


 * NOTE:** Design skills become more comprehensive by creating several solutions for a single problem., so selecting the **most effective** solution is an important process to be explored through this project!

**---5 minute break---**

3. Studio session: Working on Project #2 (Exercises A & B). **Try different approaches to all of the problems.** Save them on different layers so you can compare.

 * NOTE:** Design skills become more comprehensive by creating several solutions for a single problem, so selecting the **most effective** solution is an important process to be explored through this project!

**2. Reading**
- Read in the textbook: **pages 34-35** "//Conceptualization//" and **pages 40-51** "//Execution//" and "//Intuition//" - Quiz on the reading **in class on Tuesday**

=
- **Choose a musical recording artist** that you want to design album artwork for, for Project #3. Make a list in your process book or notebook of about 6 songs that would be included on the CD, the name of the album, and the record label. You could also do a "compilation" of multiple artists, and if you decide to do this, make a list of the artists names, the songs that would be included on the CD, the name of the CD, and the record label. **(Write your lists in the Creative Brief )** You do not have to fill this out completely until next week, but it's good to get a head start if you do end up having time this weekend : )=====

=
- //**Who**// is your artist? Don't just assume you know all there is to know about them—Do your research on their history and find out what their "image" is all about (or maybe they don't have an "image" which is a characteristic in itself!)=====

We will get started on this project right away, so be decided upon an artist __by Tuesday__ and be ready to move forward!
**-Lastly, don't forget to bring your Design Reflection Journal to class, as I WILL BE COLLECTING THEM.**
