ART 220 04: Thumbnail Review

Thursday, September 3

We start in the L. Mendel Rivers Library: what it holds on design and illustration that you can use as reference, and how to use its flatbed scanner on the main level, which is free. Then back to the room. Thumbnails pinned up and read as a group. We are looking for three different concepts, not three versions of one, and for whether an idea still reads at stamp size. Leave with one direction chosen.
