A foundation course in typography
The schedule for the completion of the chapbook is as follows:
By this time you should be well on your way with your chapbooks. To help you stay on schedule, here is how we will proceed so we can finish on schedule.
This is a reminder to prepare for Quiz #2 Monday, November 21, 2016. It will be the same format as the first one. It will cover everything we have learned since the mid-term exam. Please refer to the class website to refresh your memory.
This is a reminder of the homework assignment that is due on Monday, Nov 7, 2016.
During class, together we will build the master pages for your book.
Now that the Type Book is finished, we are ready to begin the next project. We will began this project in class, but here are the details so that you can make certain you stay on track.
Here are a few things to add some clarity on assembling your type books, which are due completed by Monday, Oct 31, 2016.
Using the entire page, create a balanced and well-conceived cover with the following information:
Once you are certain you have all the pages and they have been revised, then you can print them out. The page for Legibility: Type and Color should be printed in COLOR. You can have the printing done at Staples or FedEx if you don’t have access to a printer.
Every type book exercise is to be included. All of the exercises are listed below, including the very last one, is a poster showing all that you’ve learned so far from this project. The titles are based on the assignment sheets. Some of those handouts included more than one exercise. Hopefully this list is clear. If you have question, please ask for clarification.
These books will be printed out and bound along the short left edge, where we left space for such details. They should have a clear vinyl front cover and a black vinyl back cover with spiral binding along the left side. You can print the pages out in class, in lab or your own printer. The only page printed in color is the Legibility: Type Color page. The spiral binding is done at Staples or FedEx Kinkos. Don’t wait until the last minute to get this done because they may require that you pick it up later.
The finished books are to be submitted no later than Monday, October 31, 2016. All projects submitted late will have lowered grades.
Watch the documentary before class on Monday, Oct 17, 2016. You should take notes of the key points that you learn and be prepared to answer questions and discuss in class.
I my name is Niki Li and I have a Chinese name too which is FengYi Li. I like Ping-Pong (table tennis) very much and I played in PSAL last year. I am the top 6 single player in NYC. I am in college now, but we still have our own group. Sometimes, we will go to play outside of school. Also, I like drawing and I have some experience in high school. I really enjoy it and love it. I like animals too, such as dogs, birds, and so on. I had three dogs before, and they are very cute. I treated them like a my family. For some reason, the dogs got old and died. I don’t have any dogs right now because I don’t want to lose them, and feel very sad for their death. I did a topic about euthanasia for dogs in high school, and I think people should not do that because they have their life. I think no one wants to die even when they are very sick. No one wants death in life, but we always need to face it, even though we want to live longer for meaning. We are scared for death and dogs are too. So, I suggest we should not do that, even though it’s small animals. It’s very cruel to them.
My name is Justine Lee. I was born and raised in New York City. My parents are both from Hong Kong and came to the States at a very young age. I would say that I am determined, strong-hearted, ambitious, and a bit of a perfectionist. I just graduated from Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) with an Associates in Liberal Arts. At the City College of Technology, I hope to earn my Bachelors in Communication Design with a specialization in Graphic Design. I love playing volleyball and softball. I have been playing since my sophomore year in high school. When I was at BMCC, I was on the Varsity Volleyball Team for the 2 years I was attending. Also, I love drawing and creating new designs. At one point, I created my own T-shirt designs. I hope to get back into creating more designs in the near future.
In my free time, if I am not playing volleyball or hanging out with friends, I am catching up on my favorite shows. My favorite show is Game of Thrones. I also enjoy watching anime. Haikyū!! and Naruto Shippuden would have to be my top two favorites. After attaining my B. Tech, I aspire to get a job working for a big company like Nike or Adidas. But for now, I’ll be taking things one day at a time and will continue to grow with each day.
Furthermore, I would like to give credit to my classmate, Dante Lai-Fang for designing my name tag. Even though my name wasn’t easy to work with, he managed to incorporate everything I told him about me. This is an awesome and accurate name tag that describes who I am.
