Notes & Assignments 2/6/09

hi guys

your two assignments this week:

1. read pp. 34-60 in thinking with type, i.e. the rest of the 'letter' chapter.

2. do the assignment on pp. 58-59. with the following specific adjustments to lupton's exercise description... do characters A-Z (one case only) and numerals 0-9... make each letterform anywhere between 4 and 16 blocks high (keep the height constant, but width can vary)... lupton says to avoid making "detailed staircases" out of the pixels- i don't. staircase away. i want interesting forms here, not just legibility or regularity. given these strict constraints, can you make your typeface unique?

also, please don't hesitate to post cool stuff you've found here, and please bring in neat things for show and tell.

see you next week.
