Design in a Series |
|
Designers create variations of a design in order to create multiple solutions to solve a visual problem. Designers are also often given the challenge to create a series of designs that are meant to work together as a larger whole. Design solutions must have individual components, yet be unified, or work together as a whole.
For the district final assessment, you can use what you have learned to create a series of related designs.
Some ideas might be:
Series of Zodiac Symbols
Series of package designs
Series of ads for a product you like (movie posters, sports ads, fashion, etc)
Series of posters on a topic or event
Series of comic panels
Series of playing cards
Series of book covers
Series of Skateboard, snowboard or surfboard designs
Series of characters (Font design)
Series of Tickets (Season tickets,etc)
Series of logos
REQUIREMENTS:
New Academic Language:
1. Series: A number of different designs that have a unifying element that makes the group stronger as a whole, while remaining good design individually.
2. Variety: A number of different objects or elements showing different visual imagery on each
3. Unity: A underlying element that makes different objects or imagery come together into a cohesive whole.
District Standards based scoring:
Part 1: Design series presentation (scored with rubric)

Part 2: Constructed Responses (Artist Statements)
- How is series different than variations?
- What unifies or makes your series work together?
- What was your design process?
- Describe/Explain how you used color, composition and design elements to communicate your message?
- List 3-5 types of design and how it is used in contemporary culture. If you were to choose one type of design to do as a profession, what would it be and why?
- What do you think it takes to be successful in a design class and how could those same work behaviors be useful in a design job or career?
