1 00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:13,540 I'm not being fussy at this point. 2 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,580 I'm just trying to get a general sense of the composition. 3 00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:20,500 This one, since it's so wild in terms of its composition, 4 00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,040 try something really dramatic with the color. 5 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,780 These markers are really great for coloring in large areas. 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:54,180 There you go, just some basic ideas of thinking about that first exercise we did where we're 7 00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:58,240 trying to make three colors look like two and how that might be used in a compositional 8 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,660 sense with some typography. 9 00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:00,960 Very, very, very rough. 10 00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:03,700 And right now I like this one and this 11 00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:04,760 one definitely the best. 12 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,900 What I'm going for is just going back to that lesson of trying to make 13 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:09,920 three colors look like two, 14 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,460 getting a general sense of what the compositional possibilities are, 15 00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:15,480 how to work with that image with typography. 16 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,420 Again, very, very rough at this point. 17 00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:24,960 I'll go on to the second set of compositions and do the same thing. 18 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:25,900 I think about 19 00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:28,520 color in a very, 20 00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,120 very general sense and trying to replicate the idea of the illusion of transparency. 21 00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:38,960 I'm doing a little bit of blending with them but not very much. 22 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:16,680 Here I actually will do a little blending 23 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,380 because this is transparency. 24 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:41,300 The markers can definitely simulate 25 00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:43,360 some of that color interaction. 26 00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:47,860 And you can use the markers in a way where they blend together 27 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,280 to mix the colors. 28 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,920 Again, I'll try something a little bit different with a darker background. 29 00:02:55,900 --> 00:03:09,980 Now the typography may not be black in the end 30 00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:12,120 but I'm just going to put it in with black right now 31 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,120 just as a placeholder. 32 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,860 You know, the main things you're seeing here are the shapes 33 00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:22,720 and the approximate placements of type 34 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:24,820 and the basic ideas of the color. 35 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:50,940 I think on this one I'm going to try doing a gradient in the background. 36 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,820 This is a great opportunity just to play with color. 37 00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,140 You can't really do much harm with this. 38 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,640 So don't be afraid to experiment. 39 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:23,020 Sometimes people get very obsessed with having the exact color marker. 40 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:32,120 And it's really not that important unless you're really making a critical mock-up or 41 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:34,760 testing something where the color is really super critical. 42 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,700 But in this case, 43 00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:39,560 we're just really going for some very rough ideas. 44 00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:47,520 In this last sketch, 45 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,260 just because I haven't done it yet, 46 00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,160 I'm going to try to overlap the 47 00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:52,700 typography with the shapes. 48 00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:02,980 OK. 49 00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:05,140 I have some nice sketches, 50 00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:07,720 some good color distributions. 51 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,320 I actually like this one with the red and the green quite nice. 52 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:11,680 This is also really beautiful. 53 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,460 I might try this. 54 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:19,320 And the first page too. 55 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:20,980 Some really good ideas here. 56 00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:23,300 Something I can try with different kinds of colors. 57 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,900 And doing a poster like this, 58 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,160 I might do 10 to 20 sketches total. 59 00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,120 Variations on these. 60 00:05:30,260 --> 00:05:33,220 I might take one of these and develop even further in sketch form. 61 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,560 I usually do 10 to 20 sketches for a poster assignment like this. 62 00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,540 In this case, I'm just doing these eight. 63 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,160 And we definitely have enough here to go to the computer and start working. 64 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,060 In this lesson, I briefed you on the final project. 65 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,800 I introduced you to the Universal Traveler and talked a little bit about the creative process. 66 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,740 And we looked at the idea of sketching and the importance of coming up with alternative design concepts. 67 00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:01,440 In the next lesson, 68 00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,360 you'll begin working on your final project, 69 00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:04,660 the exhibition poster.
