1) The notion of poetic form as a hiding place for autobiographical secrets, somewhere to absorb, codify and often re-imagine memories,
2) Memory becomes a synonym for art, for that which is alive forever rather than bound by mortality. It takes on the indeterminate form of a ghost.., something that has a relation to life but is...on the other side...
3) the hours diverge so much that days are journeys round, overlapping circles
4) can anything truly be communicated?

9) The accumulation of time and history becomes a negative of the image. And this negative comes off, and the fossil is the positive side. This is the same as the action of photography."
10) So my interest- curiosity- is if the non-artist-made object can be presented in a way that it can keep the power of art itself, without artistic intention of its making. I think it's very conceptual. Marcel Duchamp invented this readymade concept. So I'm definitely borrowing.

sources for inspiration...
http://www.pbs.org/art21/series/seasonthree/memory.html#
^^all the artists features as well as those incorporated in the slideshow created art using concepts and ideas of memory
http://books.google.com/books?id=qAKOtKVFxyAC&pg=PA137&lpg=PA137&dq=painting+from+memory&source=bl&ots=J5AR0tHD5U&sig=ktEuIaW226oRIVOeQLEPmjpWT1g&hl=en&ei=H5s_SoC_N8OntgeKzOm0Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6
^^although the author (John F. Carlson) is speaking in terms of painting as a general guide his words give much advice and inspiration

answers for #4 INSPIRATION in the syllabus
what drew you to your topic?
i was drawn to the topic of memory by reading excerpts of Marcel Proust and the book "Earthquake" by Susan Barnes among other memoirs for a self portrait english class. i was fascinated by the authors' abilities to recall specific events in their lives, some or most of which shaped them into the people they become later in life.
is it personal or do you see it relating to a broader audience?
the gift of memory is something almost everyone can relate to, whether it is positive, negative or just indifferent. it is the memories themselves that make it personal.
are there artists, writers, poets, scientists, issues, concerns that inspire you to work hard to unveil your topic?
writers that inspire: Susan Barnes, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Sebastian Horsley, Albert Camus
artists: Susan Rothenberg, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Josiah McElhmy
does your inspiration come from outside yourself, inside, or a combination?
definitely a combination of my own ideas as well as others
do you see your topic as documentation of a personal event or events or as a general human existential dilemma?
the latter. because this is something every human has or will experience in their lifetime.
list of three specific areas under your topic that you'd like to explore...
the recollection or memory or reminiscence
the important of memories to our development as intellectuals
the accuracy or highlights of memory

YOUR THESIS SYLLABUS (revised versioni) - LOOK AT ALL DATES!!!!!
INTENSIVE PORTFOLIO/YEARBOOK THESIS
genevieve williams
summer 2009
egenevievewilliams@gmail.com
production editor: ramon tejeda
ramonnews@yahoo.com
graphic design thesis:
the purpose of a graphic design thesis is to define the complex intersection between personal voice, conceptual thinking, and the ability to conduct and use research effectively in the service of creating a compelling, finely crafted design portfolio.
this is an opportunity to identify an area of interest you feel passionate about, research it, and create a visual language that identifies it for the audience, takes the audience through your thought process as you researched and uncovered the topic, and creates a dialog with the audience.
your thesis may take form in any medium(s), including motion, type design, installation, print, packaging, etc. along with other mediums, you will be creating a final thesis book.
the visual language you develop for your thesis book should be derived from and appropriate to your subject/content.
in researching and producing a thesis book, you are creating a narrative. you are engaged in the process of making an argument. what is the core message?
make sure you have a point. what stance are you taking? what is your argument? the idea is to elucidate an original observation and to make us, your audience, reconsider the topic or see it in a new light.
what is the one thought/feeling/smile you want your audience to walk away with after experiencing the piece? consider the tone of your narrative. is it authoritative, reverential, tongue in cheek?
process: PROJECT: create a blog to track your research and thesis pieces. email your blog link to ramonnews@yahoo.com

http://feltron.com/
9) visual language/symbol: PROJECT: create a symbol (shield) for your thesis topic, due 6.16. your symbol (shield) should have meaning to you and also be accessible as branding for your thesis.
10) presentation of research: PROJECT: create a type specimen book (16 pages, 1 signature) of just typography that details all your textual research, due 6.16. the book should be well researched, well written, be set perfectly (see berlow type specimen book:
http://www.fontbureau.com/books/dbspecimens) and soft bound. you may use any paper stock you like. newsprint is acceptable and may be printed larger if interesting. use only typography and a few digital graphics. you may include an icon on the cover and drop caps throughout. include subheads and bylines when quoting a large block of text or when using a large block of text to break up the monotony. generally a flat hand, fingers spread, placed on a piece of text type is too much type without a pull quote or some such typographic element to break it up.
see the Chicago manual of style (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html) for footnoting and styling of typographic elements. make sure your typography is flawless, ie. no widows, no strange word spacing, no tracking out or in, etc. use all means of distinguishing between bits of information from bold, roman, italic to small caps, all caps, bold caps, etc. use no more than three typefaces and use them all well!

formal parameters:
four posters
black & white only, no grayscale
dimensions: 48” x 52”
think op art (for example bridget riley), all great logos, wanted dead or alive posters.
your posters can be typographic and/or symbolic.
make a series of four posters that engage the viewer, grab attention, and create a dialogue between the poster and passer-by.
formal constraints such as a big, huge black & white poster offer an opportunity to observe your process in a new, exciting way.
the black and white helps you simplify the message into a tight concept and the scale puts your successes (and failures) in your face.
12) photo shoots: PROJECT: concept and art direct at least four photo shoots related to your thesis theme, due 6.30. collaborate with a photographer, professional or student.
13) thesis book: PROJECT: create a thesis process book (64 pages, 32 spreads, 2 signatures) showing how you developed your concept and pieces to support your concept, due 7.7. meaning state your thesis topic, show your research, include sketches and notes, and design in your type specimen book, your posters, your visual language, and your photo shoot. simply showing an end product leaves out ninety percent of what design is about; design is about process.. this is the culmination of the thesis work you’ve done. make it count!
i. invention: what formal qualities are unique to you?
ii. what conceptual aspects are unique to you?
FINAL BOOK DUE BY AUGUST 11TH.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
NO COMPLAINTS.

Syllabus questions...
[here im sort of formally rewriting what was said in the last post]
intention__to offer audience opportunity to document their time at sva
purpose__to have a piece of reminiscence for the future
proposed process__use of games, puzzles and other such activities to give information and document highlights, events, etc. from the class of 2010's time in school
thanks for the comment matt!
to clarify a little more the content itself would be subjective to the audience or well owner of the book
through the games and puzzles i plan on giving information the audience may not have already known about the school while also allowing the owner to personalize it with their own information
for example though a mad lib they would be able to fill in their own memorable times, places, friends, events etc. and have maybe a question and answer page to include things such as "my favorite place to eat with friends_______" or "the best place i lived while in school_______" and so on
i want the book to be an opportunity for the owner to document their time at sva according to their own experiences so that in the future they can look back and have a record of their experience sort of like an album or scrapbook to go back to and reminisce either on their own or to share with others in the future

concept (Deaeun KIM)
My concept is mix, match and pop
Our school has many majors like cartooning, graphic design, illustration, film and so on.
It comes together under the name ‘school of visual Arts’
I think it’s good to make buildings by collage.
My stuff is going to be 3D
And I will make collage not only with photos but also painting, cartooning, drawing and so on.
I'll make them match compositionally and spontaneously.
At the same time I'll make them pop which is eye catching by color and texture.
This is my concept.

SPECS
Sorry I didn't come to the meeting last night.
Here's my specs.
I've been discussing about my concept with Ina.
I'll post about it as soon as I get back from work.
HELP!
so the concept I'm working with is the author Marcel Proust's idea of memory and time
the idea that memories are recalled through the senses (for example when a specific smell reminds you of a place or person from your past)
as well as your memory being a sort of spotlight on a specific time and place with all else left in darkness
the idea that memories are recalled through the senses (for example when a specific smell reminds you of a place or person from your past)
as well as your memory being a sort of spotlight on a specific time and place with all else left in darkness
i want to use this concept to give a more solid reason to the nostalgic nature of the book
my design direction is going to be rather simplified I'm thinking about using mostly black and white photographs and only spotlighting select colors along with very simple line drawings

SAVING PHOTOS INSTRUCTIONS
Hey Guys,
so as we begin to deal with photos for the yearbook, here are instructions on saving your files on the yearbook computer.
PHOTOGRAPHERS READ THIS: Photoshots + Saving Images
Hey everyone as you have started taking photos and uploading for storage here are some guidelines for getting the files on our computers in the office:
Once you have take all your pictures, you need to download them to the folder found on the PHOTO computer. I marked it w/ a pink post it in the office. On the desktop, there is a folder called 2010 YEARBOOK PHOTOS. Inside there is a folder for each of you. Save your photos inside your folder, Making a new folder for each date that you shoot (ex: 6_10_2009).
Inside each date you will insert the pictures in a descriptive manner. DO NOT SAVE PICTURES WITH THE NAMES THAT COME OFF FROM THE CAMERA. Save them with a description ( ex: 23rd Street main building)
NOTE: If you shoot individual people, YOU MUST HAVE A PHOTO RELEASE FORM FROM THEM, otherwise, the photo is unusable.
Make sure once you have the images downloaded, that you also have a copy of them.
I will back images up every week.
If you need anything or there are questions, let me know.

comment to jane
since the blog is denying me access...
and i clearly have access or wouldn't be able to post...
just wrote this comment to jane:
concept is good.
like the interactive aspect as it connects to the others and should in some fashion.
wonder about the idea that this is for building a visual piece, though there seems to be no room for text/writing/reading.
sva has always had a strong commitment to a humanities education along with the visual arts.
now more than ever, that is coming to bear on new programs such as writing and art criticism.
so, thinking that along with the visual, there should be a place in your piece to write, concept, "author" in the broadest sense.
actually, we want this in all the pieces, no?
miss having your gentle presence in the room.
when will you return?
you realize this project is due before semester begins in september, correct?
ramon has a schedule.
i have a syllabus, though i'm not sure it applies to you all.
still, perhaps it's a good basis to begin.
will send it out or post on the blog.
love.

Yearbook idea..
So I decided to show how us, designers, create their works, pieces.
When creating new pieces, each artist comes up with a concept, and add/omit some of the elements to make their pieces look great. We don’t just make it happen in a short time.
So I was going to use this idea, the process of creating strong pieces, on my personal part of the yearbook.
Different graphic elements/ typography, on number of translucent/vellum papers will create different layers. When all these layers are added up it will create a different picture.
I’m also thinking about giving out papers, so that all the seniors can write about what design/art means to them. Or how would they describe themselves as a designer.
So this is what I have so far. What do you think???
