TYPE CHARACTER DESIGN : DRAFT 1

I encourage you to create figurative, abstract, representational, non-representational...whatever strikes you as interesting. you are just playing and tinkering, learning the ins-n'-outs of the program.

Due Friday. beginning of class (so we can do a survey/critique):
3 characters, patterns, designs using the ABCs, 123's and punctation in Illustrator.
Use only 1 font, and keep all the letters and shapes in scale. To make shapes/letter smaller n larger, hold down the SHIFRT key to do so.
Start playing with the Pathfinder, Align, Selection/Direct Selection (the arrows) tools for your creations.

You will print up your 3 designs (1 design per sheet of paper. Your design should take up the entire 8.5x11 page)

below are a few selections from last year's student work:
