Here are a few requests regarding your assignments.
1) Please post everything on the blog. We need to be able to see your work off class as well.
2) Choose your swipe wisely. Remember A-B-C layouts. Remember that every art director is going to know if you choose a photo from a famous photographer. You want your art direction and design to be seen, not the famous photographers work. Choose a nice photo/illustration.
3) Choose type nicely. Remember a feature opener consists of a headline, a subhead, a byline, and very few or no text type.
4) Bring everything ( type specimen, templates and feature opener) you did so far to class. You don't need to bring NY Times mark-up.
5) Regarding your feature openers. Design a bunch of layouts, at least 20. If you work in Photoshop in 72- 100 dpi you could be able to make a lot of variations in no time... Change layout save as, change image save as, change typography. Print to size the ones you liked the best. Print all the other variations as well and bring to class.
