Note! I will be gone Friday, so please keep an attendance list as you are expected to come to class. I'll expect to see lots of progress by Monday, but know you guys will wow my socks off! (p.s. - Just because I love his work - check out Travis Louie.)
3010 - Ornament: Combine shape and surface design to create seasonal ornaments. Check out some of the links below for 3050 as I think they may help inspire you guys too. You may deal with the individual ornaments or a layout/design of ornaments - here's some inspiration. Here's the charity I told you about, Robert's Snow. Y'all are adding some great links in the comments, so check them out. Here's another: Droog.com.
3050 - Licensed product line - choose a theme, logo, or pattern and create a family of related products around it. For instance - a party line applied to cups, napkins, tablecloths, hats, ties, whatever! Here are some sites for inspiration: cafepress.com, zazzle, centurynovelty.com, orientaltrading.com, tobasco, Bulldog merchandise, Crate and Barrel kids, etc. Here are some illustrators making their living with licensed products: Joy Allen, Jenny B. Harris. Trade show for licensed products: Surtex, National Stationary Show. A good agent who represents licensing artists, Cruise Creative.
I just found this designer from Denmark who does a lot of patterns and prints.
