Diagrammatic Panel

Project Description:

"Based on the research and reference material you have collected throughout the semester, create a 15" x 20" vertical or horizontal composition in which you diagram how the object normally functions. The diagram component may or may not be the most prominent element of the composition, depending on your concept.

To achieve this, juxtapose your object with other graphic forms in order to communicate a greater context and understanding of the object’s functionality, as well as potentially its typical environment, and/or aspects of its social or natural context. Visual representations can be expanded beyond the assigned objects to include any appropriate elements that support the functionality and conceptual context that you are presenting.

You may employ any appropriate representation techniques, media, and colors. In other words, you may use photography and/or other methods of illustration beyond just the reductive & icon drawings you have created in the class up to this point.

Although all the text must be clear and legible, the panel should communicate as much information as possible simply through visual means. The audience should not have to read the entire panel to understand what the piece is generally about."

​

The panel must include:

A headline that engages a general audience
A statement that briefly & clearly connects the headline to all text 100 words (total), minimum
Attributions for all your sources of information in a footnote within the composition. (As with any writing, you must use quotation marks and name for any authors or others whose text you might quote. It is otherwise assumed that all writing in the panel is yours.)
