PROJECT 2: IMPORTANT CAUSES and the GESTALT PRINCIPLES!

In this next project, we will think; not of ourselves, but of the world around us.  There are a lot of things going on every day on this planet; important causes to get behind, and important matters that we care deeply about; positive ones, negative ones, and everything in between.

What I want you to do for this next project is bring to light an important matter of the society we live in. You are free to pick a positive OR negative happening… or even go the route of selecting a scenario that may bring or is bringing about both positive and negative change.

Once your idea is selected, you will create an image, 8.5 x 11 in size, with 1/4 inch margins that demonstrates this cause. What it is, and why it's important!

 Parameters to follow:
1) Your final image must be composed ONLY of silhouettes! 
2) You must use at least 12 elements (as in 12 shapes)  in your image somehow! You can create the shapes or figures you want.
3) Select a color scheme to use, and make sure you let us know the colors you decide to use!
4) You must demonstrate at least 2 of the gestalt principles in your image!
5) You will be graded on the following:
  • Clarity of the message.  How easily can we pick up on what the crisis is?
  • Usage of tools covered in class.
  • Craftsmanship
  • Proper layer naming and usage!
  • Description of your work on your blog!
