Week 8 / Independent Learning Week

Week 9 / DIGITAL SURREALISM
Realism Versus Surrealism

Realism 
Takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme. There is no need to think outside of the box, as that is not "real."

Surrealism
A twist on Realism. It explores the subconscious mind, with subject matters concentrating on dream-images and often aims to distort the ordinary and what we call reality

Capturing your Dream
1. Sketch It Out
2. Find Reference Images

Mindset During Creation
1. "Does this look real?"
2. Make it happen to the best of your ability.

Week 10 / Poster Design Details
Step by step to create poster design: 

1. Based on your research, develop a simple summary and make a simple tagline from it.
2. Create a simple typography design for the tagline.
3. Visualize the tagline into a poster design.
4. Focus on product photoshoot or image manipulation for the main subject.
