FP Production - Wk2, Friday, 1.27.12

Alright. Everyone has a concept to work with now. Please re-shoot the images you need to re-shoot and plan on meeting with me during the open lab hours. I will be taking roll to make sure everyone stops in. After we meet, start analyzing your imagery to see how we can edit it to make it better.

There will be some assessment of the reading, so make sure it is done.

Homework:

  1. Have 3-4 good solid images that work individually and as a series.
  2. Review chapter one and the chapters on Color and Image.

Homework for Tuesday:

  1. Roughs
  2. Grids
  3. Color Palettes
  4. Typefaces
  5. Research
