Advertisement Rought Draft 001: 2-page Spread

This is a 2-page spread concept. The black background with the chair leg being the left page, and the white being the right.

A little rough around the edges, but you get the picture.

I think it might be more effective if the surface the leg stands on were shown, perhaps with a shadow.

I plan on doing a series of 3 in this similar format...perhaps with a different quote: Redefining the meaning of sexy legs....? Who says humans are the only one's with sexy legs....?

Feedback, please!!

SCAD-Atlanta Hosts Artist’s Book Symposium

ATLANTA — SCAD-Atlanta will host a two-day artist’s book symposium April 3-4, 9:30 a.m.-9 p.m., at SCAD-Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga. The symposium, titled "Variant Hues: Art, Design and Teaching with Artists’ Books,” includes workshops, hands-on demonstrations, lectures by book artists and experts, and a juried competition of student artist’s book entries. Registration is $50 for the general public, $25 for students, and free to SCAD students and faculty; registration must be received by March 15.

The ACA Library of SCAD houses one of the largest collections of artists’ books in the country. With more than 1,800 books, the library owns works by Ed Ruscha and David Hockney, and is constantly acquiring new books.

The artist’s book is a quintessential 20th century art form for artists working in many different types of media. They reflect every major art movement and currently are receiving much deserved scholarly attention. Artists’ books challenge the traditional book format: some are three-dimensional while others are completely void of text.

“The strength of the collection is diversity–diverse media, including painting, printing, collage, handmade paper and sewn bindings, and varied subject matter, such as gender issues, 9/11, recounting memories, celebrating nature and the environment, and commentary on artistic processes,” said Deborah Prosser, head librarian of the ACA Library of SCAD.

The top three winners of the juried student competition will receive cash prizes, and their work will become part of the permanent artist’s book collection at SCAD-Atlanta. More than 90 entries have been submitted from students in Savannah and Atlanta. “I’m greatly impressed with the creativity and talent of our students,” said Prosser.
