For your FINAL PROJECT in Type + Image:
You will pick a haiku at random from the mystical haiku bowl.
Your task is to reinterpret the haiku as a small, 8-page booklet. You must design the front and back covers, as well as three interior spreads.
You may use any kind of typography you would like to tell the story. All words in the haiku must be used, but no other words. However, you may repeat words or phrases. Imagery can be used freely to compliment the typography. The kind of imagery, i.e. found images, photography, illustration, etc. is up to the designer. However, they must be appropriate resolution and quality. No pixels! There are no color limitations.
OBJECTIVES:
- To increase your ability as a planner and form giver
- To Develop an awareness of the relationship between design and meaning
- To increase and improve quality idea generation
- To increase conceptual skills
- To increase your understanding and appreciation for typographic subtlety
