1.) Read (re-read!) Chapters 4 and 5 in your Typographic Design textbook.
2.) After thorough RESEARCH, choose two typefaces to develop into ideas for a poster. Write 200-300 words of text describing the history, designer and circumstances for each typeface. This will become the text for your poster.
3.) On tracing paper with pencil, draw out a MINIMUM of 5 thumbnails of DIFFERENT design ideas for EACH typeface (20 thumbnail designs in all.) Consult your Graphic Design Survival Guide to refresh you memory on how to draw thumbnails. Remember, thumbnails are a way to think about the COMPOSITION and arrangement of positive/negative space. They are NOT a rendering of the type.
4.) #3 above due for a grade at the beginning of class on Tuesday. We will have a class critique of your initial ideas and discuss which ones have the most potential.
