Month: March 2017

Every type book exercise is to be included. All of the exercises are listed below, including the very last one, which 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 questions, please ask for clarification. Use the handout as a guide for the number of pages included for each exercise

• Front Cover
• Anatomy
• 5 Families (5 pages)
• Variations (6 pages)
• Alignment
• Alignment 2
• Leading (2 pages)
• Tracking (2 pages)
• Kerning

• Legibility (in color)
• Type Color

• Grid (2 pages)

• Putting it All Together Poster (a typography poster design that incorporates everything you have learned about typography. In the 5th column, the Title will be Putting it All Together. You will use columns 1-4 only for your design).  Use the name of your character.

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 the next day.

The finished books are to be submitted no later than Wednesday, April 5, 2017.  This is right before spring break. All projects submitted late will have lowered grades.
