Genre #3: Clothing design


You have a little more freedom with this genre.  Choose any two clothing catalogs that you can access online to observe from school (Anthropologie?  Urban Outfitter?  Banana Republic?) and analyze their style.

What elements would be relevant here?  How to they set up their catalogs to express their individual style?  What models?  What settings?  The clothes themselves--how do you describe them?  Lots of possibilities here. 

Genre #2: Painting
