Review of W01 Assignments

Assignment 1.3

Compile your group diagram research into a single PDF and upload to Bluescape.

Assignment 1.1

Based on your in-class sketches, create 1 parent icon and 10+ child icons, using Adobe Illustrator.  Lay them out using the Web-Large Illustrator template (1920×1080 pixels).  Save your completed work as a PDF using the filenaming described above, and upload it to Bluescape.  Do not add any text unless your theme is about text — viewers should be able to understand the icons and their relationship as a family without explanation.

Important things to consider are:

• Simplicity
• Clarity of meaning
• Consistency among the family members

Assignment 1.2

• Friends / Social circle
• Places you have lived / visited
• Musical / Filmic preferences
• Your hobbies
• Favorite designers
• Timeline of your life
• Transitions of your hairstyle

Choose any number of different concepts, but include at least three examples.
