FDN_1111_SP10 NYT Color Variants
Digital color machines as a precursor to painting.
Above: MCAD student Alex, digital variant (11.5 x 22.75) A new twist for a successful problem seen here before, these are foundation student level experiments with color.
Above: Each unique student grid is derived from a tracing of the New York Times, randomly assigned. Each then mounts a series of ‘color machine’ exercises within a digital recreation of their grid. Many students have completed several hundred variants (led by the intrepid Arthur with exactly 700). Resspeck. Let’s hope the isssues of projected and reflected light will sit deep with these potential artists and designers.
Each student will select one of those hundreds and attempt to recreate it in real life. Please see more process on Geotypografika Flickr, and student work is listed alphabetically below.
