In this core course, text-to-image methodologies are applied to written material ranging in complexity from a key word to full manuscripts. Students analyze and distill texts, and generate concepts through a series of revised preliminary drawings reflecting the collaborative process between illustrator and art director. Students examine a variety of visual strategies including literal depiction, symbolism, montage, synthesis, transformation, distortion, synesthesia, anecdote and decoration, to identify appropriate solutions to a given text. Complementary media is subsequently investigated for final art.
