Build a Prezi...

Use the Prezi software to create a presentation of your type designs.... we can then post them to the blog, etc....

Your prezi must include: images of each of your type designs and the "list" of five reasons why each piece works for each design.....

Try it out at this link @http://prezi.com/index/

Paula Scher's sketchbook

What a fun exercise to fill the book with creative type designs! Notice they are all HAND DRAWN!

I LOVE TYPOGRAPHY, too!

What a great site about type!! Check out the examples and read about the planning that goes into designing type.... how they plan for the changes in size and shape to make it easier to read.

Here's the link @ http://ilovetypography.com/2010/08/07/where-does-the-alphabet-come-from/

BREAK up a word....

Check out this way to use the "Pathfinder" tools to break a word into pieces...

TYPOGRAPHY Experiments

Create designs that LOOK like what the word MEANS.... Create one design per word.
Be sure to use "clipping mask" to crop the image to the paper edge.
Each design should fit on a "letter" size paper (8 1/2 X 11 inches).

The words are: 

Loud, Quiet, Active, Stable, Camouflage, Implied, 

and white on black.

After completing each design, list 3 characteristics that makes the design look like what it means... you can write the list off the artboard, in open space.

Consider these characteristics: size, value, color, location on the page, orientation, effects, font shape, etc.....
