Chalk Board Type, Layout & Design
Purpose of this assignment is to give students the opportunity to have a working portfolio piece that shows their mastery of working type.
Assignment Steps
- Go to the page on Type Layout and watch all the videos posted to understand design layout.
- Download and install a variety of fonts to work with.
- Choose a font family and stick to using that font family for the whole project. (Many of the font families I have given you contain a script, sans serif, and serif type face that all work well together.)
- Go to Design Cuts to see how the fonts are used and understand how other designers have used them effectively. This will help you with your layout.
- Use Grid Builder in Illustrator to design a good composition, (this layer will eventually be hidden.) Make sure you read the PDF in the Teams folder on how to use Grid Builder.
- Put in your type to match the layout you created with Grid Builder on a separate layer from the grid builder.
- Now you are ready to create the chalk effect and can follow the tutorials for doing that.
