I-Pad Welcome Pages

My plans for attacking this project is to choose the product M&M's and change the pages by holiday seasons...

I am going to make the background images with different colours of M&M's:

For Valentines; a heart made of M&Ms in reds, pinks, whites and golds

For St Patrick's; shamrocks with streams of various shades of green M&Ms running down the page

For Easter; "petals" of M&Ms in pastel colours running around the edge of the screen in a colour wheel pattern, forming a white space flower in the middle

For The 4th of July; a wave of patriotic colours flowing across the page.(reds,whites and blues)

For Christmas; a sketched tree with M&Ms as ornaments, in reds, greens, and golds

Overlaid with the Grid portion of this project;

a top portion that covers the personalization available for M&Ms. Followed by 6-9 products that M&Ms offers that will vary by seasons too.

Homework 11- Critical Thinking

1 How might professional graphic designers establish project criteria differently than students?

they probably wont. in order to do any project you need to use criticak thinking skills

2 Discuss how subject matter, topic, content and meaning are inter-related.

Subject matter is the starting point for your art, Content can be seen as a refinement of subject matter, and Form is the physical manifestation of your artistic vision, expression, and communication.

3 What is the purpose of a critique?

so an artist or a designer can identify strengths and weaknesses in a project and determine the improvements that need to be made.

4 What's the best way to prepare for a critique? How can you contribute to a positive critique session?

whether you are giving or receiving advice, come with your mind open, rather than your fists closed.

5 Compare and contrast subjective and objective criticism.

objective critiques focus on observable facts. subjective critiques focus on feeling, intentions, and implications
