INTRODUCTION

Introduction to the Book Project & list of art and designers; bring your laptop to class to begin your research during classtime.

Choose one designer from the following list. Research the life and work of that designer, and write a 400-word essay. Include biographical information, education, influences, characteristics of style, awards/publications/clients, etc. Be sure to use 2 bibliographic sources as well as internet resources. Cite those sources at the end of your essay.

Collect 25 images that you might want to use in your final layout in a file.

You may choose designers not on the list that are suggested by your Photo, Illustration, Drawing for Design, or Basic Visual Communications Instructors. All chosen designers must be approved by the instructor in your section of BDS.

Pick your designer during class and start researching. Collect images and information for a short presentation about your designer. This should be a Power Point or PDF saved on a flash drive that can be shown to your section of BDS during the next class period.
