3. Watermelon Man
4. Watermelon Man
“Watermelon Man” is one of Herbie Hancock’s most famous early compositions. It was featured on his debut album as a bandleader (Takin’ Off) in 1962. It is a very good example of the hard bop style. Try to familiarize yourself with the piece as you listen; try to keep track of the form and structure of the piece.
After playing in some of Miles Davis’s experiments with jazz fusion, Herbie Hancock started a new band that dove in, head first, with trying new things in the world of jazz fusion. This band came to be called Head Hunters. His first album with this band was released as a Herbie Hancock album, but was titled Head Hunters. One of the pieces featured on this album was a reworking of his classic song “Watermelon Man.” But, this version is very different from the original. As you listen, see if you can recognize anything from the 1962 version.
Compare these two versions of “Watermelon Man.” What is the same? What is different?
These examples do a good job of displaying the overall “ethos” of early jazz fusion, how the “composition” part of the music was only a pretty loose idea meant to be explored in all sorts of new ways. What do you hear the band doing to this classic tune? What do they seem to be “exploring” in the fusion version that they didn’t in the hard bop version?
Which of these versions do you think is more “listener friendly?” Why
please in your word do not use any of webside and copy it and post her . use your word thank you

Read the attached “Project One Milestone Guidelines and Rubric – GRA-350-Q7079 Layout and Publication Design 24EW4” document for all the instructions. Scenario You are a freelance graphic designer. A local museum is curating the collections of various artists for their upcoming seasonal exhibits. Currently, the museum has curated three new unique collections that vary in style, aesthetic, and artistry. The museum has approached you to create a catalog showcasing one of these collections. The catalog will be text-heavy due to each collection’s descriptions and artist statements. In addition, this catalog will be available in digital format. Previously, the museum sent out an email newsletter to inform patrons of the exhibits they were hosting and a printed brochure that was only available at the museum. Developing a digital catalog is part of their new, long-term marketing approach. For the purposes of this project, you will select one collection to create a catalog for. You have been provided with a collection summaries document that includes the names of the collections, the artists, individual descriptions of the artwork, all required copy to include in your catalog, and various design specifications. You have also been provided with high-resolution images of the artwork to include in the catalog. Your job is to propose a multi-page catalog for your selected collection. You will also document your design rationale in the design rationale template. For this milestone, you will begin designing the pages for the catalog by creating the grid structures for each page in an InDesign document. In Project One, you will use this document to organize and design the content for the catalog using different composition techniques. Directions Use Adobe InDesign and the Project One Design Rationale Template to complete the following: Create a grid structure for each section of the catalog. Use Adobe InDesign to complete this step. Include the following sections: Cover Page (1 page) Table of Contents (1–2 pages) Introduction to Artist (1–2 pages) Artwork (5–9 pages) Explain why the selected grid structures meet design needs. Use the design rationale template to complete this step. How do the selected grid structures benefit the catalog and its readers? Explain. Explain how the selected grid structures enhance visual hierarchy. Use the design rationale template to complete this step. Why is it important to follow the guidelines when using a grid system? Explain. Explain how different composition techniques were considered when creating the grid structures. Use the design rationale template to complete this step.

Overview In this assignment, you will engage with the crazy eights technique described in the textbook reading. This is a popular sketching technique in the graphic design industry, where designers attempt to rapidly ideate around a given concept. Note that this technique could also be useful for your second milestone in the upcoming module, where you will develop high-fidelity mock-ups for your project. Scenarios You are a designer working on the ideation step of the user-design process for one of the following mobile app design scenarios: Weather App: Design the user interface for a weather forecasting app to make it informative and time-sensitive. Home Security App: Design a mobile app interface for a home security system that allows users to monitor and control their home’s security remotely. Eco-Friendly Transportation App: Design an app that promotes eco-friendly transportation options, such as biking, walking, and public transit. Directions This assignment has two parts: the crazy eights exercise and a reflection. Select one of the scenarios above to complete the assignment. For the crazy eights exercise, you will complete a provided template (see the directions below for more detail). For the second part of the assignment, you will compose a reflection in a separate Word document. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Part 1: Crazy Eights Exercise: This exercise requires you to engage in divergent ideation (how many ways can you visualize a solution?). This style of crazy eights focuses on representing the idea in as many ways as possible. Complete the crazy eights exercise by drawing a distinct idea in each of the eight sections of the provided template within the allotted time. In other words, each idea should be meaningfully different from the rest. As a reminder, here are the process steps of this exercise (adapted from the textbook): Either print out the provided template or get a piece of paper and fold it into eight sections. (Alternatively, you can complete this assignment digitally by importing the template to Illustrator and creating your drawings in that software.) Starting with the first section, draw one image of your solution or one idea you want to explore. Try to take around one minute to do so. (This is more of a guideline than a rule. If you take more than one minute, that is okay—it is most important that you complete each of the squares.) Move on to the second section, spending a minute visualizing your idea. Keep moving from section to section as time allows, striving to spend approximately one minute per section. Part 2: Reflection: Once you have completed the crazy eights exercise, compose a reflection in a separate Word document addressing each of the following: Value: Evaluate crazy eights as an ideation technique. Consider the following in your response: What did you get out of this exercise? Provide examples to illustrate. Were you surprised by any of the ideas you came up with? Include specific details to support your claims. If this design project were to continue, is there a specific direction that you would like to build upon? Explain why. Collaboration: Explain the potential benefits of doing this type of exercise with a group. Provide specific details to support your claims, and cite at least one source. Other Techniques: Assess the other ideation techniques discussed in the module resources regarding whether they could have been useful for this design project. Defend your claims with specific details and cite at least one source. What to Submit Crazy Eights Exercise Using the Module Three Activity Template complete the crazy eights exercise and submit it for grading. Submit the Adobe Illustrator file. Reflection Submit your reflection as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to MLA style.
