Brief:
1. Choose a building on campus. Explore the building, taking numerous photos, and become familiar with its architecture, current use, and history.
2. Select the five most visually interesting photos, and develop a minimum of 200 drawings that break each image down into basic points, lines, and planes and various combinations thereof.
3. Choose 3 sketches, each from a different source image, and develop each into a poster series. Include text that refers in some way to the history or current use of the building. One poster should be image dominant, one should be type dominant, and one should be balanced between the type and image.
I chose to use the Armory, the building where I spent most of my first semester. For the text, I chose lyrics from North American for Life by Matthew Good. The song deals with the increasing militarization of western society and it's effects on people.

Brief:
Create an Informational Design utilizing four-color process color. Self-generated photos and illustrations must be used. An emphasis should be placed on typography, hierarchal organizational systems, conceptual issues associated with your subject matter, visual organization, and the grid. No existing charts or diagrams can be used at all. The problem must be solved from the nature of your subject matter. The resultant form may be a book, web site, poster, newspaper spread, etc.
