Andrew is not currently teaching IAT-102. This material is left online for reference only.
Instructions
Find five examples of typography in your day-to-day life (i.e. in ads, signage, websites, etc, that you see). For each example of typography you will sketch out a medium-fidelity sketch to try and re-create the type in your sketchbook. A reminder that medium-fidelity should have more refined and clearer-to-read lines, as we are not sketching to generate lots of ideas. For each sketch, write down next to it:
- Where the type is from.
- How you would classify the type; give it your best educated classification.
- What the type makes you think of or feel.
Sketch of a typeface, with notes indicating where it is from, an attempted classification, and what it makes you think or feel.
Submission
Once done, please scan or photograph your sketches for submission as one JPG file. You will be graded on completing the number of sketches and notes required and the fidelity of your sketches (they should be medium fidelity).
You are allowed to use this exercise as part of your project.
Your submission is due to Canvas before 8:00am on Sept 27.
