Explanation of Elam Exercise #1 and Discussion about upcoming homework for this week. Password: 3R^13+^3
Homework for this week:
Part 1: Choose ONLY ONE extended typeface family & one point size for the type to start your project. Create at least 4 columnar digital iterations which explore position, alignments, grouping, & hierarchy, on various columnar grids (similar to the recipe exercise.pdf file we worked on in class)
Part 2: Then choose ONE digital iteration and create ONE rough comp for your poster. You may add color, imagery, and an optional second typeface classification to your rough comp. For this week, strive for progress, not perfection with your comp.
Next week when we meet, I’ll be setting up break out rooms for peer-to-peer groups from 9am –10am-ish. Then we’ll be meeting in groups of 2–3 on Zoom for feedback. I’ll set up meeting times and post it to Slack’s Typography channel. If you can not make the designated meeting time, dm me and we can work something out. I should be able to meet with 1/2 the class next week and then 1/2 the class the following week.
Bring to class next week:
Add the following slides to the Google Slides links below:
Slide 6–10: Your 4 columnar digital iterations Slide 11: Your first digital rough
