BIG IDEA: To investigate the Fairey approach of Covert to Overt graphic design through our own explorations of making art with a message. Specifically in this project you are going to imagine your work in public spaces and explore how this would look and how and who it would communicate to. We will be exploring photoshop as a means to superimpose our works on various Creative Commons Photographs as well as our own photographs. Although the conceptual and visual inspiration will be derived from Shepard Fairey’s work you are, as is always the case this year, encouraged to make your own path in terms of what creative decisions and artistic choices work the best for your design.
