• Magazine Spreads – Good and Bad Practices
Due (with completed Magazine)
• Custom Typeface Assignment
Using the MyScriptFont stencil (click on image, download .PNG), the Wacom Tablet and Photoshop, design a display type to serve as some typographical element in your magazine (due with the completion of your magazine)
At the completion of your Magazine, you will have a small writing assignment asking you to connect the concept of your invented typeface to the stylistic philosophy of your magazine. In other words, how did this particular invented typeface help represent visually and personify the subject and visual theme of your magazine?
How to organize your Photoshop file:
• Layer 1 (Background): Stencil
• Layer 2: Grid if you wish
• Layer 3: Rough handwriting layer OR your final type handwriting layer
** Experiment with types of paintbrushes | Vary the opacity and flow **
