First, don't forget on Tuesday there is a test on everything we've covered up until now. This includes:
- type anatomy terms
- typeface classification/history
- grid terms
Your assignment this week is to create nine type compositions:
1. Choose your 3 favorite/most successful composition drawings and scan them. Scale and crop them to fit an 8.5 x 11 page, and bring them into Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign:
2. Over each of the three drawings create a series of linear/circular guides- in essence a unique grid- by tracing over the strongest elements and directions of movement in your drawing:
3. Use this unique grid to help guide in laying out a series of typographic compositions, each with ALL ten (10) drawing descriptions as type elements. In teach composition emphasize one of the descriptions: the one of the drawing this grid is based on. CREATE THREE UNIQUE COMPOSITIONS FOR EACH DRAWING'S GRID, for a total of nine compositions.
4. Save each of the nine compositions as either JPG or PDF, WITHOUT THE GRID SHOWING (i.e. just type). You may present them either on your laptop or on the projector in class.
