课程名称：图像创作简介 课程概述：本课程适合严肃的创作者以及对图像创作感兴趣的新生。图像创作是一个流动且令人兴奋的平面设计领域，强调实践和过程：无畏地进行实验、展示和分享想法，以及提供和接收有知识性的建设性反馈。尽管我们在本在线平台上为我们的探索制定了一些结构，但总体上图像创作是松散和无结构的。在本课程中，我们只要求遵循一个原则：仅仅通过观看视频无法成为平面设计师。因此，重点在于实际创作，您需要在本课程中投入大量的时间和智力。 具体内容包括： - 使用各种材料和技术实验创作图像 - 扩展视觉词汇，以便更好地讨论自身及他人的作品 - 学习如何制作、操作和安排图像，以创建构图，最终将其汇聚成一本基于图像的书籍 前两周是实验和探索图像创作的机会，以扩展您的视觉词汇。您将创作表达性、冥想性或“设计性”的作品，以激发、唤起、实验、记录、解释或尝试媒体。 随后两周，我们将邀请图像有意识地传递意义和信息，通过对比、构图和上下文等关系性手法进行探索。我们将发展和扩展图像组合的多种方法，通过图像来构建页面。由于没有上下文就不存在任何事物，我们将研究如何有意地推动图像的含义和联想，利用构图元素和“视觉对比”来生成。最终，您创造的图像将被整理成一本书。 您的作业（和实验）产生的结果可能在现在或未来生成某种完全不可知的东西——这就是我们的目标。 课程大纲： - 第1周：基于图像的研究 本周将介绍基于图像的研究，并利用多种技术在设计背景中调查这些图像。您将选择一个主题进行研究，这将成为接下来几周实验和设计的基础。 - 第2周：创作图像 本周为创作课程！您将根据上周选择的主题进行不同方式的思考。从简单到复杂，手工到数字，现实到抽象等，我们将自由探索和实验，同时考虑不同的表现模式，并尝试创作我们自己风格的图像表达。 - 第3周：关系性构图 在第三周，我们将定义和研究构图的核心原则，开始为您的书籍进行简单页面的组合。 - 第4周：用您的图像设计一本书 在最后一周，我们将汇总您前几周的作品，使用您最喜爱的10-20张图像制作页面并编排成一本8页的书。我将分享一些图像书籍以提供结构灵感。请注意，最终作业需要通过Issuu提交数字书籍（作业中包含具体说明）。如果您选择手动创作图像，仍需使用电脑和InDesign等程序整理图像并准备上传到Coursera平台的文件。
Name:Week 1: Image-based Research
Description:Welcome! This week we will introduce image-based research and investigate these images in a design context using a range of techniques. You will then choose a subject of your own to research that will become the basis for your experiments and designs in the coming weeks.
Name:Week 2: Making Images
Description:This week is a making session! You will take the subject you selected last week and think about it in different ways. From simple to complex, hand to digital, realistic to abstract and everything in between, we'll explore and experiment freely. We'll also consider different modes of representation, and try a hand at creating our own ranges of representation with images.
Name:Week 3: Composition is Relational
Description:In this third week, we will define and investigate core principles of composition, and begin to compose simple spreads for your book.
Name:Week 4: Designing a Book with Your Images
Description:In this final week, we will pull together your work from the previous weeks to make spreads using 10-20 of your favorite images from your assignments and compile them into a 8-page book. I am also sharing with you a few image-based books to give you some ideas on how to structure your book. Note that for the final assignment I am asking you to submit a digital book through Issuu (instructions are included in the assignment). If you choose to create your images by hand, you will still need a computer loaded with InDesign or a similar program to clean up the images and prepare the files for upload to the Coursera platform.
This course for serious makers, and for students new to imagemaking. Imagemaking is a fluid and exciting area of graphic design that comes out of practice and process: experimenting fearlessly, showing and sharing ideas, and giving and receiving knowledgeable and constructive input. For the sake of this online platform, we have applied some structure to our investigations, but for the most part imagemaking is loose and unstructured. If we must adopt a rule in this course it is only this: you will not become a graphic designer by watching videos alone. Or, don't just make stuff just in your head. So here, the focus here is on making, and you are expected to devote serious time and intellectual energy to that activity in this course. Specifically, you will: - experiment with a range of materials and techniques to make images for graphic design - expand your visual vocabulary both in terms of making and talking about work, in order to discuss your work and work of others - learn how to make, manipulate and arrange images to create compositions, eventually culminating in the design and production of an-image-based book. The first half of the course is an opportunity to experiment and explore imagemaking in order to expand your visual vocabulary. You will create pieces that are expressive, meditative, or 'design-y' to instigate, evoke, experiment, record, explain, or try out a media. In the second two weeks, we’ll invite the images to deliberately and intentionally carry meaning and communication through relational moves like juxtaposition, composition, and context. We’ll look at developing and expanding the range of approaches for putting things together by composing page spreads with your images. Since nothing exists without context, we look at how to intentionally drive the image’s connotations, meanings, and associations generated through elements of composition and “visual contrasts.” Ultimately, we will take the images that you create and make a book from them. The results of your assignments (and experiments) may generate something completely unknowable now or in the future—and that's the goal.
