Manufactured Self: The Self-Portrait PackageReading: Consumer Culture and the Manufacturing of Desire, from Practices of Looking (on moodle)
Student Examples:

1) Using Illustrator, design and construct a package for yourself-as-product.
-Use the package templates in The Packaging Designer’s Book of Patterns (in lab)
-Text and Graphics ONLY (NO straight photography, you may use tracings of photos)
-Create a downloadable PDF file from the Illustrator file

2) Using Carrara, illustrate the contents of this package - your “product”, displayed in a virtual space -this is more open-ended; any imagery is allowed -think about the context - how can the space speak about your “contents”

3) Create a new section of your website that both displays the package/contents and gives the visitor the opportunity to download your package and assemble it.
-include a gallery/tour of your 3D space (include at least 5 renderings)
-create a link for visitors to download your package design - something other than “click here to download”!

•Evaluation of the project includes actual downloading and assembling of packages, so your package must be functional

•Due Tuesday, Dec. 13 (last day of class) -website & package -we will take the time from then until the Final to review each other’s sites and packages.
