TYPOGRAPHY CHECKLIST
COLLAGE
David Carson research (plus other artists who might link?) plus annotation
3 typography collages, using limited colour palettes/type
Annotate your collages -
what are the themes?
How did you limit your choices in this collage?
What works well/needs improving?
These don't have to 'say' anything - it's much more about exploring typography as a visual concept - using the shapes etc.
Visual rather than legible!
DARKROOM
Photogram research (see folder. Can also find your own)
3-4 of your own photogram examples (or more!)
Experiment with some of your photograms -
cut them up and reassemble?
layer them in collages?
crop them to create different compositions?
layer other text (collage/written/on acetate?) onto them?
STUDIO
Research Jaromir Funke (and other photographers you may find)
Your Studio contact sheet
3-4 Images (or more!)
Experiment on Photoshop -
Black and White
High Contrast
Cropping to change composition
Layering images
FONT BUILDING
Font research (find your own examples of hand drawn type - lots of links in Typography folder!)
Calligraphr hand drawn sheet
Use your font to type something -
could be the word 'typography' in different sizes/colours
could write a short paragraph about your font!
Font research for Fontstruct (there are some block examples in the folder but you could also use examples from the Fonstruct Gallery, Pinterest, DaFont etc)
Your Fontstruct Alphabet
Use your font to type something (as above)
Ji Lee Research (if you got this far!)
Your Photoshop examples (if you got this far!)
