Graphic LA - pgs 5-37, 58-82, 92

drawing is symbol making
reduce everything to geometric shapes and the fewest values

value relationships are really important

thumbnil to explore possibilities
test: is design interesting and possible in two values

large shapes make the design, about the wholistic effect

you must alter reality, not just copy what you see to make good design, alter values to make readable and demonstrate focus
find and emphasize rhythms

reduce refine and interpret (can draw multiple times to get to this process)
