Below you will find all of the major lab assignments and projects I completed during this class.
Project 1: Expressive Booklet
3/1/20 | Choose a song that is meaningful to you and utilize the skills you have learned so far to create an expressive type booklet from the lyrics (these were printed, folded, cut, and glued together in an accordion style). You are limited to one color and it's values as well as black and white text.
For this project, I chose the song "Rainbow" by Sia
Type Specimen Poster
2/25/20 | Choose a font and create a type specimen poster for it. Make sure you include who created the font, at least four different variations, a brief description, and the alphabet in both capital and lowercase letters. You are allowed to use only one color but may use different values.
