I need assistance in preparing the NASAD Self-Study Document (Format A).
NASAD stands for the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. I am looking to apply for NASAD accreditation for my institution, and I need guidance on structuring the Self-Study format.
I’d appreciate help in creating a structured document based on the attached materials, formatted so that I can easily fill in the required details. It would be helpful if each section included clear instructions, guiding me on what information needs to be provided and how to organize it.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thank you!

Grunge Style Magazine Cover and Spread
It’s time to bring it all together. You’ve learned a little about typography—the mechanics of organizing type on a page and some special effects. You’ve explored the Swiss Style and the Grunge Style. You’ve learned how to create shapes, lines, and repeated patterns in Illustrator. You’ve practiced using Illustrator to create textures and manipulate a typeface. And, you’ve created some collages using the Grunge Style
In this assignment, you’re going to pull all this knowledge together to create two pieces of artwork: 1) a cover for a magazine, 2) a two-page spread for the magazine. You will use what you know about the aesthetics of the Grunge Style to guide your design choices.

There are many, many more websites with textures one can use in their designs. You may also want to make some of your own using old magazines or paint.
Set Up Your Files:
1. Name a new Illustrator File. Use the following setting.
screenshot of how your document should be set up.
2. Open up the Properties Window, Then select the Artboard tool. Resize the 4th Artboard to 17″ wide. This will give you an Artboard for your 2-page spread. You may wish to rename your Artboard as the following:
Artboard 1 = photo references (this may be your collages or other raw images you found on line). Also include the article link you pulled text from for the spread. Think of this Artboard as the pile of images and text you have available to work with. Place small images on this page of all the reference materials you will be pulling from.
Artboard 2 = Your Sketches of the magazine
Artboard 3 = Magazine Cover
Artboard 4 = 2-page spread
Screenshot of the ArtBoard set up in Illustrator for the Grunge Magazine project.
3. Once I have my Artboard created, I like to turn on my Rules and draw a guide mark in the center of the spread. This allows me to see where the center of the page is.
What kind of Magazine will you make?
What kind of magazine would you like to make? This will help you decide what elements should be on the cover and in the spread of the magazine. Whether it’s a fashion, music, tech, sport, or lifestyle magazine, the kinds of images and way you handle text should reflect a Grunge Style similar to David Carson.
Hints to experiment with your designs

As you gather your images, think about the textures or intensifying colors in the photographs that you find. How might you clop and manipulate to enhance the textures/colors to create visual interest.
Think about turning your imagine or flipping the photograph.
think about playing with text on the spine of the
Think about juxtaposing more than 1 image together to create interesting positive or negative space.
Find a photo with a dramatic angle to create disequilibrium.

Repeat and rescale words over the composition.
Make shadows and manipulate the photo’s exposure to create deep blacks in the design. Or flip the text and add texture to it.
Think about how you might highlight 1 image in your design. Create visual hierarchy in the layout.
Utilize handwritten, overlapping text to create a surface texture over the entire image
Sketch out your idea
Draw out your magazine layout idea and photograph your sketch. Place your sketch onto Artboard #2.
Final Project Requirements
Use the Grunge Style of graphic design.
The spread should have text on it from an article. Use text from a news article or headline from the past month. Copy the link onto the bottom of Artboard 1.
You must use multiple sized fonts on the cover and the spreads. You choose what fonts work best for your design.
Activate Adobe fonts that are unique to your design.
Use the collages that you made in the previous project or create new work.
Use textures in an interesting way.
Use color in an interesting way.
Create a title of a magazine. NOT Ray Gun. You might experiment with ChatGPT to invent an original magazine name for the genre you’ve selected.
Include a UPC on the cover.
Use visual hierarchy in your design.
What to turn in?
Save your file a pdf as a multi-page document.

This will create a 4 page pdf document. The document should include your resource files, sketches, the magazine cover and the 2-page spread.

Well, I would like you see how you’ve used the Layers, the Artboards and other features on the Illustrator interface. This ensures to me that you’ve made the piece yourself.

1. Give 3 directions of concepts showcasing a new way of interacting with computing using advanced Input and embodied sensing.
Read instruction carefully below:
(Project Concept Think: How might we rethink our interaction with computers if we can embed sensors, cameras, microphones, tracking systems in environment, objects and bodies. Think beyond the able human body, consider bodies with different needs. VR headsets and Screens can be tricky as outputs, they usually define a particular kind of interaction that moves us away from experiencing social, and intuitive day to day ergonomics. Consider what inputs and outputs you could leverage to explore a novel and meaningful interaction.
Context & Use Case: Consider daily actions we do domestically, socially, collectively, privately/ personally. How might we questions will help you guide this and I will be giving you feedback in our next session. Consider invisible information, or information larger or much smaller than our own body’s scale. Some examples of this include: Rethinking our relationship to Planetary movements: could you design a different “calendar” – what is the meaning of a calendar / time that you could poetically rethink?
Or our relationship to climate: How might we sense data that in a meaningful and embodied way?
Or our relationship to our family: How might we sense people’s interactions from afar?
Invisible data can become embodied, and we might be able to sense what is invisible using novel interactions. Go beyond what I shared and explore different contexts.
Project outcome: The outcome will include showcasing a live demo/ prototype, a delightful and meaningful input and output, as well as your research on how you arrived here as well as list of actions you prioritized. )

Week 11 Learning Objectives
1. Describe the elements and principles of design in print and web examples.
2. Demonstrate the application of the elements and principles of design in various media.
3. Apply critical thinking to issues associated with graphic design when assessing solutions.
Assignment 11.1Assignment 11.1
Transparency
Using a window and the view through it, change the opacity of the window with materials of your choosing. Create four different gradations to alter the view, each a step down from the last (the opacity gets gradually lower each time). Explain what materials you used and how they changed the opacity and, ultimately, the view.
The goal is to select materials that change the opacity of the glass so that what we see through the window changes without the view through the window actually changing (be in the same spot with the same window for each change).
Post your work to the discussion board.

Cut 12 6” x 6” squares out of white paper. You will use one each week and we want them all to match.
Using a black marker of your choice, create an image that represents SPACE.
Each week, create an image based on space that demonstrates the main topic from the reading. Think outside of the box, beyond the obvious visuals associated with the concept of “outer space.” Be sure to indicate, in pencil, which week the image was created in on the back. Please refrain from using type as your image.
With each post, please include an explanation of your drawings. This will give you an opportunity to describe your work (we have to “sell” our ideas often), and it will provide us (your audience) with some information so we can understand how you are applying the week’s topic and how “space” is being considered. This will also provide a check for you to make sure you are satisfying the assignment. This explanation can be a very short paragraph. I’m not wanting or looking for a short essay.
