In this class you will learn how to plan color layouts for images made of collections of many small things in a limited palette. Push pins would be a good example, since they come in only certain colors. Stickers might be another example, as might ink stamps.
The main thrust of this class is how to avoid the simplistic "posterized" look and achieve color distributions that look much more sophisticated. The end product of this class will be a 2' x 3' poster that I will show you how to get printed in color at a place near you for under $6.
We are making a digital poster. We will not be getting into the details of where to source the 50,000 pushpins you'd need in order to actually make this image out of real pins.
If you have items at your disposal that can be made into physical images and you wish to make such an art object then you may find this class usefull in giving your color layout a richer look, as pictured above.
Your assignment is to take a photo and prepare it as described in the class so that it is ready to be made into a push-pin portrait. Bonus points if you take it on through to a $6 large format print in the manner also described in the class.
