PROJECT 1: DIGITAL TYPOGRAPHY COLLAGE POSTER
Description:
from “A” to “Z”. The composition must include all 26 letterforms in an18” x 24” format, vertical or horizontal. The letters can be presented in any arrangement responsive to your concept. You may use any “style” of a single typeface. So, for example, you could spec Garamond, demi-bold, lowercase,italic. FYI, Garamond is the typeface, demi-bold, lowercase, italic define the
font. Use only “classic” typefaces. Review and utilize visual principles and relationships in your composition.
Conceptual & Aesthetic Direction:
Students were to produce an 18” x 24” typographic composition that presents the alphabet in a unique, creative, witty, inventive, rebellious way. Making it ownable, collectable and readable from a range of viewing distances. Thinking of the poster as a homage to a particular typeface. Letting the typeface and font dictate the aesthetic treatment.
