Reading 4 Notes - Feb 1

Graphic L.A.

Pgs 68-75, 96-105, 129-133

Everything is an excuse to show depth, overlap, and form.



Always ask what is the simplest symbol that best describes the shape?  Don't be afraid to reduce complex forms into simple symbols.



Feel free to alter the size and placement of objects within a scene to create a better composition.



Draw now, judge later.

Black and White Truths:
 -  thumbnail it out.
 -  30-70 ratio (mostly dark or mostly light)
 -  en masse perspective
 -  contour/isoparms (form understanding)
 -  BOLD SHAPES





Always search for the best, simplest arrangement of shapes and tones.
Change proportion, move shapes around, explore the arrangement.
