The handout from todays class was to keep your focus on the current 'clock' project. Just about everyone had developed a number of excellent concepts for this project. Some of you are taking this on as an opportunity to reinterpret the graphic language of communicating time -- some making a statement about the nature/relevance of clocks, watches, etc. -- and some are elaborating upon the singular functionality of a clock and expanding on it.
The KEY is to have a clear idea and ensure that it is informing all decisions of your design. From form -- scale -- typography -- (imagined) materials -- etc.
I think that having half of class to further sketch, discuss, and refine your ideas/designs was also very helpful to many of you.
The key for next week is to remember the concept you've developed for the project and ensure that your design is consistent with that idea. Near-final designs will be due (at least to a point where the projects can be discussed from both a conceptual and design perspective). Remember that you'll be presenting your projects to the class. This requires you to be articulate in explaining to everyone else your concept, design development, and near-final solution.
You can expect a new element/parameter to be assigned on Monday.
