Compositions with Type and Color (Fall 2017)

Project goal is to "...create four compositions on two 11" x 17" sheets, each composition with one or more representations of your object. Do not limit yourself to the same exact drawings—continue to refine these or develop new ones as the project evolves."

​

Deliverables:

Black-only compositions with type

 1. Solid black and white composition combining type and object to

communicate an aspect of the object, and in which type is the hierarchical focal point.

 2. Same as #1, above, but with the object as the hierarchical focal point, communicating the same or another aspect of the object.

In these compositions, you may use any appropriate word or words other than the name of the object itself (descriptive adjectives, actions, functions, attributes etc.), that communicate an aspect, or multiple aspects, of the object.

Compositions in shades of black and in colors

 3. Composition in three solid shades of black (three percentages of

black from 1% to 100% in value—no transparencies) and with no type, communicating the same or yet another aspect of the object.

 4. Composition in three solid colors other than black (such as Pantone solid colors set to 100% density—no tints or transparencies of colors) and with no type, communicating the same or yet another aspect of the object. (Note that the color of the paper, white, does not count as a color)
