Please have your altered bad yearbook photo that you found cleaned up with the techniques that we learned in class on Wednesday. Please have that saved digitally.

For Friday Critique
Please print off a art statement using the format that we used last time for your gig poster. Have it under glass. Please trim the white edges - be mindful of your cuts. You will have to print at university services and or the old DMS lab because the printer in the new lab is not registering 11x17 tabloid as an option to print. Be dressed in business casual for the critique and ready to discuss your design decisions.

Please work in the vein of one of these two artists:

Jason William Cole / http://www.jasonwilliamcole.com/#!life-of-pinky/ca8u
or this body of work
http://www.jasonwilliamcole.com/#!presidential-heroes/c1zlt

Please make pieces that are old source material mixed with old source material like Nadine. Or make a work that takes on pop culture in every day setting like Life of Pinky pieces.
