Week 4 – Tasks for Studio

• Continue to work on your Assignment 1 outputs, developing and refining your ideas.
• Refer back to the tasks and techniques raised in the first 3 weeks, refining your processes, and reworking any lacking components.
• Write 300 words reflecting on your project so for, considering what elements of each stage of the design process has made it through to the next, highlighting where the influence for each decision has come from, and spelling out in clear terms each stage of your design process. Concentrate especially on how the work of your chosen designer has helped to lead your design thinking.
• Based on themes raised in the Week 4 lecture, develop a grid for your 2xA3 poster spread for assignment 1. (You will use this grid as a base for the first draft of your poster. For independent study.) Define a base grid layout for your 2 x A3 posters (I suggest using InDesign), using grid lines and solid blocks, starting to think about your content, and how you might like to arrange your pages. Think about page orientation, relationship between the pages and grid sizes. Post images of your grid to your blog.
