BLOG ASSIGNMENT Week 9: GRIDS

BLOG ASSIGNMENT Week 9: GRIDS
The last few weeks we've been discussing the use of different grid systems (axial, radial, dilatational, random, grid, modular, transitional and bilateral) as a starting point for laying out compositions.

Included in your post assignment: An example of one of these grid structures. Include the Designer name/Company and year. You will post up TWO images. The original image AND the image with an overlay demonstrating the grid structure. Refer to the Kimberly Elam book "Typographic Systems". You can create the overlay image by lowering the original opacity in Photoshop and drawing a colored layer on top pointing out the grid structure. Remember to save it as a jpg when finished.

Add the labels "grids" & "class time". Remember to add a comma between the words. If the labels are not present you will not receive credit. The labels are meant for organization. If post are not labeled they will get lost in the blog. Therefore...no labels...no grade!! To double check your labeling you should be able to find your post when you select the "class time" on the right and when you select "grid". If it doesn't show up you did it wrong.

DUE by Tuesday's Class, October 26th (Be prepared to present what you found)
