Due at the beginning of class:
ALL of the letters in your word drawn TWO ways:
One way should be black letter in a white field (positive)
One way should be white letter in a black field (negative)
On tracing paper, in pencil, inside a 2" SQUARE box drawn using drafting tools (parallel bar or t-square, and a triangle that is 90 degrees.)
Fill in all negative spaces WHILE YOU WORK. Don't outline everything at once and then fill things in. If you work that way, you won't ultimately be making good, efficient decisions about the proportions of negative and positive space. Always work on things they way they will be viewed ultimately. No need to labor over making a perfect black, just fill in the letters so the edges are neat and the pencil is dark enough so you can see the positive/negative spaces. Spending more time on it is not necessary.
Bring to class:
pad of 11" x 14" tracing paper
triangle
metal ruler
pencils
kneaded eraser
white artists tape
clear scotch tape
glue stick
scissors
exacto knife + new blades
cutting mat
handout from class today
Remember your goals:
• each square should have as close to an equal amount of white and black as it can
• show me ONLY the identifier of each individual letter. If it can be read as a different letter, you should reconsider the design decision. Run it by your friends & see if they can tell.
Daily grades:
For each class, you are assigned certain things you should either have with you, done as homework, or researched outside of class. I am checking each day with my iPad to see if you have fulfilled those requirements. For the most part, these grades are either all or nothing. You've either done it or not. The cumulation of your daily grades figures into the final tally of your overall class grade and your daily grades have the potential to bump up your overall average, or bring it down. Pay close attention to instructions during class, on the handouts, and on the blog.
