book assignment

Book




Project Description:
Your book may be in the traditional form (covers front and back with pages), or using an alternative form (3-D, billboard, comic, for instance).
Your book must be entirely created or reconstructed by you (covers, inside pages, etc.).

In part 1 of Book, your ideas and images will take form in a mock-up of what will become a fully realized piece.
Every choice that you make in your book should relate to your subject matter (fonts, page layout, materials, sequence, cover, etc). Think about text as a visual and or physical part of the book.
Consider alternative material, physical or otherwise (x-games, trash, water)


Guidelines

1 Make a plan of action for creating your book:
1. In your visual journal sketch out your ideas for creating your book. Think about several ideas. Including different media and alternative book formats.
2. Make a list of all the materials (handmade paper, cloth, steel, bread, etc.) and resources that you think you will need (photolab, software, tools, shop techs wood shop, metal shop, fibers, etc.
3. make a storyboard of your book (for your own understanding). This storyboard should be a work of art in its own right and not a difficult to understand messy sketch.

2. Create a well-defined mock-up of your “book” that communicates your idea clearly to the viewer. Your mockup must have good craftsmanship (Use X-acto knives and straight edges, sharp markers, paper glue that does not wrinkle, high quality images or good Xerox copies—poor quality mockups will not be accepted). Your mockup does not have to be to scale but it does have to be accurate in proportion.
