Nice to throw a ‘curve ball’ into the course mix. In this case asking the students to design spreads for a paper engineered celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the US Wilderness Act. Not only did they have to consider the 2D elements, including the text/typography playing a major part of the composition rather than merely a supporting role, but they also had to build in some form of appropriate paper engineering such as pop up, flaps or pull tabs etc.
Just to make it a little harder – the target audience was adults looking for that elusive Christmas gift 🙂
