Formal experimentation

An experimental, expressive graphic exploration that responds to and expands on your selected

1. Based on your research and collecting from WK1, please create 20 experimental compositions
   • Make 20 square collages using whatever tools work for you.
   • Explore the form-making potential of the words, aphorisms, and images you have gathered by manipulating type and image.
   • Consider both analog and digital manipulation of letterforms and images.
     • How does the meaning of words change if you use a different typeface?
     • How do the compositions communicate your specific interpretation of the topic?
     • How can you use type and image to communicate spatial relationships and environments? Consider shadow, plane, perspective, overlay and depth.
   • Go wild with experimentation! What you can do to alter an image or typeface?
     • Abstract, make it modular, texturize, pattern, cut, tear, float, fold, frame, mask, project, adorn, alter...
       • These are not precious
       • Be un-selfconcious
       • work fast and try disparate directions.
   • Present compositions
