ohayoo-
for those who weren't in class yesterday, please post here your final reworked posters. if you can get them up here before next monday they will count fully toward your grade.
your next assignment:
1. take a minimum of 10 photos of found typography. it must be handmade, found, or physically manufactured. it can NOT be on printed material (i.e. billboard, poster, magazine, etc.). i want unique specimens of type that are not yet a fully designed typefaces. why? because you will be using one of these images as basis/reference for a display typeface YOU will be designing.
2. bring to class these 10 (or more) samples printed on 8.5" x 11" paper. also, upload your top 5 in a post here on the class blog.
suggestions: look at manhole covers, building plaques, gravestones, graffiti, tattoos, handmade restaurant signs, paintings, etc. look for stuff you identify with, that you can be happy with for a few weeks.
to facilitate this process we will be meeting in a computer lab next week and learning how to make our examples into a digital typeface. lab room number to come. please check this space before next wed. and pass the word around to classmates who don't.
cheers,
n
