Dave Brubeck Quartet Round III

One direction, six ways, and more to come. Iterate, iterate, iterate.

NOTES FROM CRIT

• More cut paper iterations.
• New color palette.
• Take photographs of metronome.
• Maybe make a sculpture?
• Change the lines, they can be pushed more with materials or how made.
• Explore creating a personalized typeface, maybe play off metronome and used shared forms.
• Split or contained line. (I don't remember why I wrote that).
• Add 8:00 PM to the poster.
• Try manipulating stock photo is all else fails.

Tender Buttons Round II

More progress on the typography assignment for designing the collection of poetry Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein.

Rhetorical Tropes Round Three Iterations

Branching off of different ideas, I have created 15 compostions that are a little more narrow in my decision and direction towards my final poster. The compositions highlighted in black will be the dies that I plan on following up with iterations.

NOTES FROM CRIT

• The metronome with 4 arms is gold; cut shapes would work well with that.
• Metronome broke and glasses is too much.
• Dance steps echoes the wrong music (jitterbug)?
• Keyboard prints work (with the finger prints).
• Just finger print isn't enough, not enough jazz into it. Thumb print is a nice idea though.
• Beethoven off track (and creepy).
• Mediums; cut paper and piano with collage. Not watercolor.

Change one Thing // Round 5

Here are some more iterations:

Change One Thing // Round 3

Change One Thing // Update

Here is the poster I decided to concentrate on and here are the iterations made, which are due to be critiqued tomorrow:

New versions:

Inspiration for this idea was seeded from the "Flower Power" photo, which was taking shortly after the Kent State massacre.
