Layers

Thursday bring in collage (take photo) made out of 4-5 different colors of tissue paper. In class we will translate digitally and work on 7 additional compositions using the same colors, exploring transparency and layers.


Hierarchy + Typography

















Design Problem: Hierarchy

1. Choose a typeface (Helvetica, Clarendon, Bodoni etc), research the font, gather the following information: Name of font, designer, set of characters (or full alphabet), year created and descriptive or historical text.
2. Using that content design a poster for the typeface. Using scale, layout, hierarchy
