Details for Final Creative Assignment: The Text/Image Broadside

Thursday's final class meeting is going to be really fun and active. Tomorrow's class (Tuesday, Dec 12) will be mainly a work day. I'll also be meeting for brief conferences with each student. 

Here is a link to a series of over 130 text/image broadsides. You might get inspiration from taking a look. I collaborated on one of the prints, "Language Survival Guide."

I want to clarify a few things about the assignment.

1.) Make sure that you copy the quotation from your chosen story verbatim. Word for word. Check it once and check it twice. Did you get the capitalization, spelling, and punctuation right? Remember to include the author's name and the story's title. 

2.) If you really want to hand-letter it, do so with purpose and care. Too often I see the text added as an after-thought. 

3.) I changed my mind about one thing: the text does not have to appear at the base of your image. You are free to incorporate it in any way you see fit. 

4.) No recycling of old art for this assignment. You need to make something new. OK?
