Many of you seemed to have been struggling with finding work for your assigned design discipline.
Here's some sites that should help you locate the most interesting work:
The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards
and
The I.D. magazine competions (includes game design in the Interactive Design Annual).
Metropolis magazine is also a good site for perusing the various disciplines.
CalArts subscribes to both I.D. and Metropolis so you would be able to find both of these publications in the library.
It may not be that you'll find work directly on these sites. You may need to Google names of designers that you find there, then locate their work. It's a treasure hunt! If you're bored by what you find, KEEP LOOKING til you find interesting work. There is interesting work in all these design disciplines, so get out the shovel and dig!
New instructions for preparing your presentation:
Because of the time it took to prepare images for the presentations last Tuesday, I'm changing the form of your presentation. READ AND CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Gather your images. Save at (approximately) 800 x 600 pixels (11" x 8.5"), 72dpi, RGB, JPGs.
2. Put all images in a folder, ready to be placed in an InDesign document.
3. In InDesign prepare an 11" x 8.5" (landscape/horizontal) document with as many pages as you have images, PLUS a cover page. No margins.
4. Design Page 1, including the name of the disicipline and the 2 team members.
5. Place your images as full pages bleeds. Captions are optional. (But your presentation must include desiger, date, description of the object.)
6. Save your document.
7. EXPORT your document as a PDF. Name should be: your_assigned_discipline.pdf.
