You will be making a series of 3 posters using glitch techniques + textural overlays. Your posters can be any size you want, but no smaller than 8” x 8”. (.25-.5 inch margins) You do not need to use fancy paper to print them — regular paper is okay~
Step 1: Choose one image to glitch. Think about the process of glitching- corrupting data and creating errors. What images would you glitch considering this process? What does it mean conceptually for a specific image, to “interrupt it”? Possible directions could include images from social media, images related to your relationship to the internet/digital media, areas of personal conception, a subject that has been “glitched” in real life, your memory of computers or digital memory vs. human memory, etc.
Step 2: Add a textural overlay to each of your 3 glitched images that relates to the image, the glitching process, or the glitching results. You choose what text should say, where it should be placed, whether each image should have the same text on it or different text. Think about whether the text should be large or small, legible or also “glitched”. Think about how the text relates to the glitch image: does it read like a caption? Does it read as an overlay? What can you add to this process by adding this text?
We will view the original image, and your series of 3 glitched posters, together in class. Be prepared to share why you chose the image that you chose to glitch and what processes you used.
You will turn in both your original image and your glitched posters in a .zip file folder (4 images total) to this canvas assignment, and you will print your series of 3 posters for class.
3 works, no smaller than 8” x 8”. (.25-.5 inch margins)
Fundamentals of design - harmony, balance, color, form, contrast, symmetry/non-symmetry, positive vs negative space, line, value, etc - are resolved and polished
Work tells a story linearly or nonlinearly and has a concept that is effectively communicated visually. Evokes a clear emotion. Evocative enough to be able to tell the rigor of process between start and finish.
Demonstrates effective use of technical skills learned in lectures and instructions in tutorials. No pixelated images, color is transferred from RGB (digital) to CMYK (print) effectively.
