04.01 re-mapped diagrams take 2




















Create a second set of five diagrams: primary vs. secondary; vertical vs. horizontal; ascending vs. descending; continuous vs. discontinuous; thick vs. thin. Every figure generates extension lines (horizontal and vertical). Solid figures generate solid extension lines; voided figures generate small dashed extension lines. All extension lines extend to the full length and height of the underlying format. All diagrams should relate to each other as a series (comparisons are made across multiple diagrams).
  1. Avoid literal or metaphorical interpretations.
  2. The economy of means: use as few elements as possible; justify the relationships of every element; distill: simplify into the essence of the idea; reduce jumbling.
  3. Add descriptive notations to each diagram.
  4. Relative line weights (stroke) is important.
  5. The measures grid and the AABA chorus grid layers should be turned off.
Required Media: Adobe Illustrator; print one 8.5” x 11” sheet per diagram; 5 sheets total.
