Flyleaf
Explore some aspect relating to the themes in this course that interest you and really delve into it to share with the class. You will create a minimum 500 word report (undergrads) or 700 word report (grads) with supporting images, and present them on two 11” x 17” pages, or four 8.5” x 11” pages for a group magazine that we will publish through Blurb. Some possibilities might include researching a particular (bookish) artist that relates to your work, or looking at something that links several artists together, a technique that interests you, a book that you may have seen at Rare Books & Collections or in a presentation in class, a printshop, collective, etc. We will have some Illustrator and Photoshop demos to assist with the design of your pages.

Guidelines
- Four vertical 8.5x11 in. pages, or two horizontal 11x17 in. spreads
- A min. 500 word report for undergrads, and 700 for grads.
- Include images and/or examples
- You have artistic license to design the pages and text however you'd like. Think about using an image in the background with white boxes for the text, or having a color in the background, designing a system for organizing your images, etc. Look at other magazines and publications that are beautifully designed for inspiration.
- Be careful to leave ample room near the gutter and edges of paper so you don't lose any image or text due to binding!
- Save images as a PDF, JPG, Illustrator or InDesign file at 300 dpi.
- If using Illustrator or InDesign, please outline your text so it can be read externally
- Don't forget to add your title, your name, and sources!
