Rhys Printmaking Course:



Illustrating 10 stories?
Will meet the Nov. 15 deadline.

I do not think they are working with layout, only illustration? I can check on this. However, I do not see this as an issue because I am not certain they are all visual equipped to work with layout and sequencing. Depending on the outcome of these 10 stories, we can divide them accordingly among the layout teams.

-------------------------
Additional:

Lina from the MFA program working on making a booklet for her Jinn campaign. It's kind of far afield of what we're doing, but it is in the same spirit, and will incorporate photography, collage and design. It's something we can add if we need more content. I'll send her the layout parameters you created.

Hi guys, drawings are done, but just in the middle of uploading onto drop box so that I can share them with Khadija and Michael.

As of now, I expect that I'll be hand writing the text and include them as part of the drawings BUT I haven't written it out yet and don't know for sure how much I'll be incorporating. For certain though, things like speech bubbles will be used and done by hand.

Cheers,
M

Jinn? :S

Patty said...

Hi Fatma, the Jinn project is the creation of Lina, an MFA student. She came up with the idea of having a campaign to make expats aware of what Jinn are. She used signage, and a website.

As Michael said, this project is different than our project, but Lina is making a booklet that will talk about Jinn, and include Jinn stories. It will also include images. I'm not sure if we'll end up being able to include it, but it does share a couple things in common with what we're doing so Lina is putting together something for us to look at.
