 Final Project: Words+Images               Questions? Email AWDsgn@sbcglobal.net
The goal of the final project is to communicate an idea in a unique and effective way using a combination of words (typography) and images. You can use any medium/method as long as it involves some combination of words and images.
Part 1		WORDS (due Nov. 24)
			Research any one of these ideas: Success. Failure. Creativity. Communication. 
			Find 10 quotes (by someone other than yourself!) that best explain the idea. Each one 				should be between one sentence and one paragraph long. Type this list of quotes and 				bring it to class. Indicate which one is your favorite.
			A few websites to get you started. There are MANY more!
			www.quotationspage.com  /  www.quoteland.com  /  www.brainyquote.com

Part 2		WORDS + IMAGES
			Express, illustrate, clarify, embellish your idea using words (typography) and images. 				You must use the complete quote and include the author’s name. Draw, paint, stencil, 				rubber-stamp, engrave, carve, sculpt, or use the computer to create the words.
			Images must be your own creation. They can be photos you’ve taken, drawings, cut 				paper, found objects, etc. No photos or art from books or magazines!
Format: 	Must combine both your words and your images. Otherwise, anything goes: any size, 				shape, color and/or material. Can be 2D, 3D, video, web, performance, as long as it 				communicates using both words (typography) and images.
