Dada poem:

So this busy and turbulent term had me going back and forth on what project to complete for the final project in ART 299/254. I originally wanted to do the Rad Maker Poster series on Why Not Associates, but in the end I saw other dada projects and found them to be quite interesting so thats what I decided to work on. The Artistic style im workin in is the Russian Constructivist.
My peom originated out of a Dwell article on a modern home in the portland area. I trimmed out the words and randomly pulled one at a time to creat my poem:

spacious sparkling geometry suggests
three-story shelter, small windows Skyline
wrap punctured rectangle opens house
turns two-lane Nordic cube.
Modernist three road up

So with the Oh So Original poem, i began to look at some constructovist designs, I drew from El Lizzitski (sp?) and some other pieces. and also the design that franz ferdinand used with ther shouting person, wih type coming out of the mouth. Obviously the colors were red black and shite and some greys. I played with how I would story board the design and type, by trying different things such as showing only each new piece of type alone in the design and ending up with the total piece. Also playing with design elements and having some come in and out/ being there in some and not in others to convey a sort of motion.

And my final printed version is going to be a flip book like ones where you draw a little deal in the corner of a notebook and flip to make it move. But thats how I'd like this design to be viewed, and that will work well with the whole idea of motion and type.
