Proposal
When we think about graphic design, the most important aspect that immediately comes to mind is the significant function that type serves in the process. However, if we take a look at the work of some of the most famous painters to work in the art nouveau style, we can see that the illustration is just as significant as, if not more important than, the written language, and that in some instances, it completely overpowers the text. A number of well-known painters Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Antoni Gaud, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Émile Gallé, René Lalique, and Aubrey Beardsley have explored advertising in really creative ways . My objective for this lecture is to study the ways in which pictures might cooperate with one another. I will classify each design language, and I will make an effort to experiment with a variety of styles that are not the standard.

Thesis statements should be (1) current, (2) titled, and (3, ideally) accompanied by concise summary/abstract.
Work posted on this blog should be accompanied by some explanation (and even questions).
the above, mainly devoted to Josh — “tracks”, extended out across 36 pages, for subsequent interventions thereon.
(The calculation shown is 8 inches into 260 inches = 32.5 inches... notional only, as neither page size nor margins have been determined.)
JM mentioned the idea (remembered from Frank Zappa) that if the beat/rhythm is right, the particular notes don’t matter. And mentioned Frank Zappa teaches Steve Allen to play The Bicycle (1963) : link : youtu.be/QF0PYQ8IOL4 (about 16 minutes long, and pretty good).
Thea (lower right), imagining relationship of great-grandfather’s handwriting to type (or reverse).

Thursday
Patrick showed new iterations of product treatments (for earbuds) and The Sopranos : link
JM responded that in both, the earbuds were usefully ambiguous, might be spaceships, etc., or elements being juggled. JM pointed to opening scene of the old Startrek DS9 — link — where you don’t know what things are, immediately.
Patrick then pointed to trailers/advertisements for a new Xbox console —
Xbox Series X|S – Power Your Dreams Trailer : link
Xbox Series X, Dreams Within : link
