Project info

• Project 2 Part 2 Expressive Lettering (NO TYPEFACES)
  Please refer to the following PDF with assignment details.
  • This PDF includes a template that you can follow to sketch to proportionally correct size.
  • Example: Vary your ideas and styles when sketching:

• Based on sketches and ideas, students determine what is the best way to continue with their lettering project:
  • Is it best to take photographs of objects?
  • Use traditional material (paint, draw, etc) or work digitally (with application)?

• Once you know which way you are working, then determine process to follow:
  • Capture image (via camera, scanner/ phone/ app/ copier)
  • Bring image into Illustrator/Photoshop/other apps. This depends on your solution, for example:
    • Trace or use pen tool in Illustrator
    • Clean or adjust colors in Photoshop
  • If working by hand: Use tracing paper and pencils, then marker to clean image.
  • Capture image again and repeat steps if necessary
• Careful with spelling (you are essentially drawing so there is no automatic spell check!) and keep work editable if corrections needs to be made

This PDF shows an analysis what tools might work best within Illustrator

For this example we experimented with paper, glue and actual sprinkles to create the letters, The image needs to be cleaned in Photoshop
