Jack and Jill Problem


In the six areas indicated, create visual equivalent for each part of the nursery rhyme " jack and Jill" by using the ding-bats and/or punctuation marks given on the assignment sheet. These marks, symbols, and pictograms can be used individually or combined to develop a visual metaphor. Execute your solutions in black and white, unless your concept dictates otherwise.


Analysis: The intent of the Jack and Jill Problem is to develop a visual vocabulary within the parameters of a given set of images, allowing an opportunity to discover and grapple with the infinite possiblities that exist in what might first be perceived as a limited language.This assignment also presents a chance to respond freely to a timeworn nursery rhyme, taking something familiar and revitalizing it through the manipulation of images. This approach expands a designer's problem-solving vocabulary.
