Critique October 4th
We will have a critique on the Currency Project at 9:00AM SHARP, October 4th.
REQUIREMENTS:
You are to have the 6 bills - 12 designs printed and on the wall in MAC LAB 2
You are responsible for printing. The printer is available anytime the school is open. If there is a class in MAC LAB 1, ask if it would be okay for you to print. Most of the time it is fine.
The set up of the prints is up to you, but they are not to be front and back. Side by side will be fine.
If you can get two bills (four designs) on one sheet, that is great. Again, it is up to you.
You are also to upload the 300 dpi jpg file you printed onto the class server. If you will have four printouts to bring to class for the critique, each has to be uploaded on the server. This is to be done BEFORE class. Save as lastname_currency_1 lastname_currency_2 etc....

New Currency Project
You are to redesign and re-conceptualize our currency. This project can take any shape in its final form, but I do require this project to be printed out BEFORE THE CRIT (be sure to get your print card from the business office for practice).
You are to recreate, front and back, the $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills. for a total of 12 new designs.
It is up to you how the final product looks, do the dominations refer to anything specific? Are you changing the size, shape, orientation of the bills? Is there a conceptual or design relevancy to the front and back of the bills being different, the same? You are to incorporate a serial number and the federal seal. These can be as simple and /or complex as you see fit. But, we do have two class periods to work on these, so use your time wisely.
Think about color, shape, design...this project will help with your navigation between layers and open files.
it will expand your use and knowledge of various tools, creating graphics, merging and manipulating images.
Be Creative!!!
Required for Monday, September 20th: A variety of images to be scanned, or digital images you have, to begin conceptualizing this project. (bring in print outs of other currencies, photos, books, magazines, journals, anything to help with your research)
The size and shape of each bill is up to you, make it both creative and functional...no three foot dollar bills, no stamp sized twenty's.
September 20th - Bring in research materials and ideas in your sketchbook...work on ideas and research in class post on blog, etc.
September 27th - work day...finalizing designs and practice printing.
October 4th - Critique at 9:00am SHARP...Upload your psd files for each part of the project...twelve total before class to the currency project folder. Final printouts displayed on wall/table in class.
