NGV VISIT
To facilitate your research and understanding, week 1 classes will involve a visit ti the National Gallery of Victoria to view their 20th century furniture collection. During this visit is expected that you will complete sketches of at least three of the furniture pieces in the collection. These sketches can be in any appropriate medium and are to be posted to your research blog in week 2.
WEEK 2 SUBMISSION: due in studio– Wednesday 11 March
Presentation of at three posting pages (two designers per posting) showing research into design classics.
Research furniture by your chosen designers and collate images and text using Photoshop or Illustrator. Images are to be of high quality (not low-res) and such should be scanned from books and printed publications - do not research or source images exclusively from the internet.
It is suggested that you research the work of all the listed designers before choosing six on whom to focus.
Note:
- All images must be titled with the names of the designer and the furniture and the date of design.
eg. Sori Yanagi, ‘Butterfly’ stool, 1956.

ReplyDeleteI've got the same question. I can easily cut and paste the text in but i'm having alot of difficulty trying to fit 5 images with name labels nicely into the page. What's the best way to do it?
