Assignment

Finish up your type specimens.
GUIDELINES
Make sure you kerned every display type properly. Hyphenate text blocks. Take your design to the next level. Add color or image or both. Think about the binding. Think about the pacing of the signature. Try to make it as exciting as possible. Print and bring to class.

Think about 4 assignments you would like to do in addition to your type specimen and your personal id.
We understand that most of you want to design good portfolio work. So suit your work to your particular job interest. research the firms you'd like to work at and look through their works. You'd want to show your design/type skills along with your conceptual thinking skills and let them see how your mind works.

Here are a few examples:
  • Set of 4 PSA (public service announcement) posters.
  • Entire book or set of 3-4 mini books.
  • Book jacket
  • Magazine layouts
  • Corporate id
  • Business card/website
  • Packaging design (CDs, sauces, wine,toılet paper, etc)
  • Skateboards
  • T-shirts
  • Store id
If you come up with a subject that is not on the list that's fine too.

Research your topic well.
Identify and speak to your target audience when designing.
Post everything on your blog.
