SketchesType Assignment Sketches

Part I:

Type should be considered a shape in your design. Whether it is a text block considered as the whole block in relation to the design or a heading or title that stretches across or is in your design. The color, line, shape and value even texture of the text will effect your design.

This assignment is intended to be playful.

Make sketches of your ideas: Think of a word that you can illustrate with the text itself. So the type letters become part of the image you are stating. Look at the samples here. Then create your own illustrated word. You can use any media to create this. Size about 9 x 12″. It can be longer if needed for your word.

Part II:

Critique at least 2 other student’s sketches by Friday end of day of the same week so that the notes can be referenced while preparing the final art.

Be sure to write about it in terms of the elements and principles of design.
