- EXPRESSIVE WORDS: PART 1 Step 3
EDIT your 4 words:
Professor Giuliani will give comments and corrections on 4 words.- Do you need to adjust things? Consider scale, repetition, placement.
- Make sure that you are using the words from the list
- Make sure that you are using a classic SANS Serif Typeface (not display, novelty or serifs)
- No illustrations or added elements other than letters (glyphs from typeface)
- Letters and words should not be taken out of their proportion.
You can remove parts of the letter, and extend ascenders and descenders if necessary. - Black only. No color.
- Add a frame around your artboards and then save the illustrator file and export as jpg. We did this in Class 10.
We will place this to an InDesign File at a later date
