SOME CLASS NOTES:

S.A.F.E.: Simple / Appropriate / Functional / Efficient – from the book “Design Yourself” by Hanks, Bulletin, Edwards – BUY THE BOOK

Bob also recommends “Art and Visual Perception” by Rudolph Arnheim

Considerations in creating the first set:

• Do I really have a great idea for the initial placement?
• Consider writing backwards
• Consider TEXTURE (the visual key signature)
• Consider FOCUS and how you create it
• Consider placement of the instruments for good sound and balance
• Consider the initial movement…what are you attempting to portray?
