Week 5

Assignment

This week's assignment was to finish up the chosen design from week 4 to put in an art show for Lincoln's 200th birthday.

> Craft

Adobe Illustrator

> Composition

Using Illustrator, I illustrated the jar and coins. I took the concept of using the cent sign a step further and added it to arrows to point to various coins in the jar. This provided movement and visual interest between the graphic and the time line. I simplified the label of the jar to look like a stylized penny and tie the concept together.

> Concept

I fleshed out the idea of using one graphic to tie my time line together, with the pennies towards the bottom of the jar representing current history and the pennies towards the top representing the beginning of the time line.
