Due at the beginning of class:
1.) minimum of 20 hand-created type explorations of words related to your object
2.) minimum of 5 hand-rendered drawings on tracing paper in pencil or black sharpie based on the type experiments in #1 above. Some of these drawings might be inspired by the computer print-outs we did in the lab yesterday. We will cover more about hand-altering type in the next couple of classes....
These are minimum requirements. More is ALWAYS better. And yes, I will be counting.
Just like with computer type:
NO outlined type
NO vertically stacked type
NO stair-stepping
I am looking to see that you have explored a number of different techniques, materials and substrates (i.e.: what it is ON--a variety of papers.) Try a number of different ways of interpreting your words.
HINT: This should not be a random process. The materials, techniques and substrates you use should contribute to and complement the meaning of the word. For example: the word "fuzzy" should have some random texture to it [unless you were going for irony, in which case you would make it look like chrome.]
DUE NEXT TUESDAY: Thank-you note for Will Hill. You're a designer, design it yourself. Must be a fold-over card in an envelope. In the interest of informing yourself, I suggest you look Will Hill up and find out more about him. It is important to use good etiquette in all professional contacts, and thank-you notes are very well received.
