Drafting & Photoshoot

Objective
To prepare resources for your magazine cover

To further the design process towards your magazine cover

Tasks

1. Draft 4 examples of your magazine. 

See my examples above but do at least four—two per sketchbook page

To get ideas for my drafting I have typed 'musician' into Pinterest and used the results as a springboard. Do the same. These should be 'tighter' than the copied scamps.

2. Complete a photoshoot of images for the cover or equivalent illustration artwork

Presentation
Post a contact sheet of images to your blog with relevant annotations
Post photographs of your sketchbook drafting

Checklist for assessment
Inventive drafting, lots of relevant and well lit images

Time needed?
3 hrs

Deadline
Start of lesson, Thurs 3rd of Dec 2015.
