• PLACE/SPACE - Where is this content displayed? Why this location? Who will experience this project? How will the content activate the space? Will it establish a sense of platemaking (importance of this space in relationship to specific activities)?
• IMPACT- How will this experience be memorable? Does it engage the viewer physically? Does it engage the viewer mentally? Will the viewer's behavior change (physical or mental) through exposure to this project? If so, how and why? Is this experienced on an individual level? On a group level?

Idaho Commons Building Facts:

• 200 individuals either work in the Idaho Commons Building or have offices in the building.
• At any given time well over 800 students can hang out, study or eat in the Commons, in comparison, the Library "fishbowl" provides room for 40 students and the Student Union Building provides space for 70 students.
• The Idaho Commons also incorporates sustainable design features, making it an efficient building. These include day-lighted classrooms with movable walls and clerestories, providing extra light in spaces that are normally walls.

Examples of Existing Idaho Commons Art primarily painting and other tradition studio art

Visual Boards/ Visual Comps

Visual boards, also know as visual design comps, are well developed and fully designed storyboards that map out the aesthetics (look & feel, background, text, imagery, graphics, textures) of a proposed motion graphic animation.

Often times designers and videographers create visual boards before project have been approved, planned, and developed in order to communicate to the client what their "vision" looks like.


Here are some examples motion graphic designers' visual boards.

WORK ON YOUR DESIGN + ANIMATION

Spend next two weeks working on the design + animation phase of Project 1 (____ This Jazz).

This design/animation phase of the project is where you should be spending a significant amount of time working on the visual quality of your project. You should be developing visually pleasing imagery/motion that make your animation engaging  and effective.

You should work on the following two things in class the next two weeks:

1) Create and prep graphics into several  visual boards, saved via Illustrator or Photoshop with separate layers
2) Animate graphics to chosen Jazz song (60 second minimum)

Components of Storytelling

Address the following questions when crafting your visual narrative

1. What is your story about?

2. Is there a conceptual or thematic message?

3. What should the viewer understand at the end of this story? How should they feeling after watching that narrative? Will they learn information?

4. How will you convey this idea visually?
         Representational Imagery [Photographs, Illustrations/Drawings]?
         Symbols/Icons?
         Combination of both?

5. What kind of tone will you set? Is there an emotional context? How will that be communicated effectively and clearly? (Through colors, shape/form, direction, texture, weight/size, etc).

Exercise: Visualizing Jazz

Considering today's discussion about creative visual storytelling and the relationship music has with art & design, you must create a 5 minute Visual Narrative about Jazz.

Your Visual Jazz Narrative should consist of a sequence of 20 different visual "images" and corresponding text (brief phrases, titles, or sentences). Overall your collection of 20 visual images should tell an engaging story about jazz.

• Must use 20 different visual "images" (Images can be photographs, drawings, paintings, etc., as long as it is captured in a 2 dimensional presentation)
• The concept is determined by you as long as it deals within the realm of Jazz. Please spend some time researching some aspect of jazz (history, sub genre, instruments, musicians, etc.) Be creative. And cite your research sources
• Be sure to take into consideration design fundamentals and principles in regards to the type of imagery you choose. Feel free to crop, edit and modify your images compositionally and aesthetically using Photoshop and PowerPoint.
• Include scan of your mind map and list of cited sources (informational facts and images from books, articles, websites, etc) in PowerPoint file

Present your Visual Narrative via Powerpoint Presentation by start of next class, Thursday, Jan 23, 2:30pm.

**Upload Powerpoint presentation into dropbox folder by start of class.
