TYPOGRAPHY: I

"Create a typographical composition, on a grid, in InDesign using a monochromatic color scheme, using only one letter."

This project was made through Adobe's InDesign. It's composed of a layout using the letter 'E', along with the color blue and the shades of black, white, and gray used through the design's color scheme.

You will create a typographic, self-portrait using letter-forms as metaphors to represent you. What are the psychological aspects that make you who you are? Show that using type forms, without words.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

A daily setting:

The illustration depicts an obvious-landscape setting. Though, letters shown and placed represent how one may express their own emotions and general self throughout a normal day as such. The sun is a visible item that many can see on any sunny day. Letters placed are subjected to the sun, being what characteristics one may know about a person, with other little glimmers shown in the sun rays. Coexisting are letters placed under the ground level, which represent things one may keep hidden from the general public and from anyone to know and see.

You will be creating a type sample book to display the typeface and designer that you chose for your essay project. You will also create a theme for the book that is carried out visually on each page.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The common theme carried out throughout this book is 'vibrancy' and the typeface 'Futura'. General vibrant colors are used to accentuate the theme, with the Futura typeface being used through the entirety of the book.

Students will apply design principles to a book cover for a pamphlet fold book, they will also utilize a “bleed” and “title safe” areas. Later, InDesign will be used to design the composition of the 'DIY' book.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The topic of the book is an introduction to how a graphic design project can be started, specifically the process from start to finish on how a project is typically done. This tutorial is made with the idea of using Photoshop as the prominent program. Aside from the actual designing process are steps that reference the process before the actual design, as well as how it can be brought out post-production.
