Before we begin, READ THIS FIRST
You'll need to have a good understanding of my philosophy about our role as graphic artists and my expectations for for you in this class.

Our First Major Assignment of Semester 4 - Part 1: Conceptulaization
We will be designing posters to help Mohawk College celebrate International Womens Day.
A good place to begin your research is at the IWD official website.
Once you've begun to grasp the scope of our topic, sit down with your sketchbook and begin thumbnailing concepts. At this beginning stage, anything goes. You're not designing so much as "brain-dumping."
* Please note that you are expected to hand in your thumbnailing/conceptual work in your sketchbook. Loose paper may be taped, stapled or glued in - but only sketchbooks will be accepted for marking.
To assist and inspire you in the visualization process, visit my Al Parker Flickr set. We'll be studying Parker's work and his prominence as an "illustrative designer" and using his design philosophy as a springboard for our project. The final art for your concept will be rendered as an acrylic painting on masonite.
Here are your resources:
