Project planning: Design Scrapbook
I'm working on a compilation of examples of different design components for my elements of design class with Professor Buck-Coleman. We're supposed to make a sort of scrapbook with examples from printed material that demonstrate concepts like Roman serif fonts, color bars, and things like saddle stitches.
Because the theme of the assignment is a "design scavenger hunt," I want to play off of the word game idea and organize the information sort of like a crossword puzzle. I think I'll actually try to find an existing book of crossword puzzles that I can affix the found objects to, and then frame the examples with grids linked to clues, like you would in a puzzle. I'm thinking the cover will have a printed grid with handwritten lettering (or a printed computer-generated font that looks like hand lettering), as if I'm filling in the puzzle, and I'll try to include some blank grids or grids that are filled out by hand within the body of the book.
I went to the lecture by campus printing services yesterday and started collecting samples, and while I'm at home today I want to look and see if maybe Jenna has a puzzle book I could add to, because I think the most daunting part of this project is the binding.
