2nd Yr - Book Jacket Design

For this project students were given the job title of Graphic Designer!

As a graphic designer they were approached by the Roald Dahl Museum, to design a Book Jacket for one of Dahl’s unpublished book. They were allowed to pick from one of the following titles:

• As Nature Awakes 
• Good Food
• The Show
• Suitcase of Memories
• Along The Riverbank

Students were also asked to write a summary or ‘blurb’ about the new book. Here are some of their finished designs.

Below are some useful links to views past book designs of Roald Dahl and information about his life and work.

2nd Year - Michael Craig Martin and Pop Art Project

 2nd Year students created the above mirror image group object drawings, using coloured paper and acetate sheets, inspired by the work of Pop Artist,  Michael Craig Martin. Students also developed their knowledge of colour theory, creating four different painted colour boxes, using ordinary everyday objects as their subject matter. Check out the video to see the finished result.

Working in groups, students then created support study sheets, researching the life and work of Michael Craig Martin, and another famous Pop Artist.
