Critique Assignment

JMC 59 Assignment..... due Tuesday 1/24 by class time. (Turned in electronically or printed and handed in)

Find an ad from this website:

http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/

Write a (at most) 1-page (single spaced) critique analyzing the contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, and any other aspect of the design that is unique or interesting. It could be an ad that does these things well, poorly, or a mix or both.

Before you go into the C.R.A.P. critique, you can answer..... What is the point being communicated? Who is the target audience? How do the visuals contribute?

My preferred method of handing in assignments is through Google Docs (you can even upload the ad into the document. You can "share" the document with me and allow me to comment. 

If you don't use Google Docs, you can attach a word document. Be sure to either include a link to the image or the image itself in the document. 

Using Google Docs:

First... create a Gmail account.

http://www.gmail.com

Second, go to Google Docs

http://www.docs.google.com

And create a turn-in folder:

How to create a “turn-in” folder in Google Docs so assignments will be sent directly to me.

1. Navigate to Google Docs

2. Click “Create” and choose Collection.

3. Call the collection “59-LASTNAME Turn-in” (e.g. 59-LANGAGER Turn-in)

4. Once created, click the small drop down arrow and choose “Share...”. Click “Share...” 

5. Add me (andylangager@gmail.com) and make sure I “Can Edit” (it should be the default selection). 

6. Now whenever you have a document to turn in, you can simply drag it to that folder and I’ll be able to see it in my Google Docs. I’ll be able to read it and add comments.
