Graphic Self Expression Part 1
Create visual self-expression in four chapters and four ‘techniques’ with the help of a catalog. Each technique is a chapter at the same time. Design at least 10, at most 15 pages for each chapter. The design of the catalog itself is not essential, more the content of the pages. Try to describe yourself precisely, intelligently, and humorously as possible with the given techniques.

Purpose
Beyond breaking the ice, this project is an intro to getting acquainted with creatively developing ways to describe things, in this case, yourself. It’s also an introduction to storytelling and deep visual exploration. As the name suggests, students are expected to express themselves within some constraints. This makes this project even more exciting because you can find ways to bend and work around these constraints in a way that suits you!
