Abandon

For this project you will create a “visual pun.” While I would love for each designer to come up with a new and original visual pun obviously over time there will be duplicate ideas but not duplicate designs. If you are able to come up with an original visual pun the Captain has not seen before you will be awarded an additional 10mi./10gold. No pre-inquiries.

As necessary, research what a visual pun is and be sure you understand what the problem is a s the first stage in the design process. A visual pun should NOT use the actual object originating object in the design. For example a visual pun of a HOT DOG should not have an image of a hotdog anywhere in the design. it might be suggested by a hotdog bun but you should instead focus on the words DOG and HOT.

Awesome! Now make sure the Captain gets it printed off for you to mount …even if you have to ask him a few times. He gets sidetracked a lot you know.
