Type Specimen Project

For Wednesday:
We need to see some pretty tight roughs for the additional pieces to this project.
- Box Concepts
- CD Booklet
- Spine and Back Cover (for jewel case)
- CD Label

Your Type Specimen books should be done by now.

Create a PDF file of your book that can be copied by your classmates for their CDs. Use a high resolution setting when generating the PDF.

Everything (four pieces listed above and your book) is due Monday, March 29.

See you Wednesday.

Monday, March 1, 2010

For Wednesday March 3, we will continue working on the books and I am planning on introducing the box that you will construct and design the graphics for. I should have a template Wednesday.

For Friday, March 5, bring in a completed type specimen book for a small group critique.

On-Going Projects:
Form & Content: These need to be type dominant. Make sure it is a reputable source for image and content.
Photographs: Minimum of 45 photos (total for the semester). How type is used in our environment. What emotion does each example evoke? Simply state the emotion.
Please begin posting them to your blog sites and I will check them there. Let's save some paper!
Notebook: A running diary of the class.
