Project 1

ART216 Spring 2013

Type Space Design

description:

 Letters are are symbols. Designers call letters 'type'. Type comes in a vast aray of 'fonts'. How do we design using type?

- Create a design using your asigned letter only once on the page. You can use any colors or fonts you want.

- Create a design using your assigned letter, using only one color, but as many multiples of your letter in any sizes you want.

- Create 3 designs using any letters, colors, or sizes of font(s) you want.

whats due:

- your final images need to be uploaded to your Flickr account and sent to the Art216 group.

- your final images saved as high quality jpegs named first name - last name - and the number. ie Joe-vonstengel-1.jpg

Guidelines .

Think about the Basic Prinicipals of Design. Consider how the; alignment, repetition, contrast, proximity and balance are created by the Design Elements of you letter(s)

What should you do?

- To successfully complete this assignment you should create at least 10 versions of each of the first 2 images assigned and a fewof each of the last 3. At this point creating more, faster, is better then sitting and contemplating on a single image.

Due: at the beginning of class Wed Feb 20th
