a new
concept in education ever transforming
Assignment
Rationale: To understand the
nature of an ode, to take an everyday object and examine it more
closely. See metaphorical possibilities in written and visual
contexts (which in plain English means, how a term, phrase, or
image-which may be created by using typography-is applied to
something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest
a resemblance, as in "…under a sky new-painted every day…")
Kickoff
Piece(s): Pablo Neruda ode
examples, bio, Il Postino film, and typographic-picture square
Essential
Ingredients:
Meets WriteDesign "Rules
of Thumb" within website
Writing - Use
alliteration
or assonance;
use unexpected similes
or metaphors
to create snapshots; use conscious line length; show devotion to
object of ode; revise; edit
Design
- Use typography as imagery and/or photography or art/illustration to
unite the emotion of the ode. The layout should reflect the use of a
grid
(3, 5, or 7 columns). Powerful use of white/negative
space is critical to the layout.
Technology
- Use PhotoShop, Illustrator, and PageMaker software and the scanner
as appropriate to unify the look and feel of the ode. Other
handcrafted materials and technologies may be incorporated; however,
the main piece must use the computer as the primary tool.
