Due Saturday, October 2 on the course website.

1. Choose one piece you created for the Layout assignment

2. Prepare an ‘inverse’ copy of your Layout assignment

If you are working digitally…
Create a digital color inverse of the original piece.

If you are working with paper…
Create a color inverse of the piece and create several (>30) copies of the inverse and original of that piece.

3. Create two posters
Line Poster: Using a copy of the original piece, create an original composition by adding line (.5–4 pt) to the original copies.

Shape Poster: Using a copy of the original piece, create a new composition by adding the parts of the inverse copy to the original piece.

Create compositions that embody your sense of visual accord with energy and harmony.
