I started to take notes for these stories to make sure I could keep them straight. A lot of these stories can easily be confusing because they reuse characters/ same themed animals.

I'm trying to have these book covers have a little more structure with title placement and messing around with the bars. I've set these 5 up like this, but I think every 5 or so I'll change it slightly to have mini series. The Child of Saint Mary is probably my favorite out of these. Also I believe my next 5 or so are going to be hand collaged and not straight detail. I think I can get a better idea of what I need for these covers when I do notes with them. I also want to start playing with textures.

Please read this for Wednesday.

Let's talk typography: 

This reminds me of Amanda's project.

wednesday

Congratulations to Rebecca for last week's "habit" installation in the Queens! show. People were clearly interested in that bifurcated column of text. Some tried to read it aloud (I know I did). Others may have looked for orientation, perhaps from the colored markings on the floor!

For tomorrow Wednesday, please read the essay I distributed last week, Jennifer L. Roberts her "The Power of Patience." It appeared in the November-December 2013 issue of Harvard Magazine, and can also be found directly here.

Two other items on the agenda:
We'll fix dates for student presentations and discussion leads; and
Discuss timing for the second round of panel reviews of work in progress.

See you tomorrow!
