Personifying Type Assignment

Fernand Leger personified type.  I tried to capture the essence of his paintings/art.

Roy Lichtenstein personified type.  I tried to render the benday pattern that is seen in his work and I used a typeface that was similar to comicbook style.

Assignment #2—Movie Poster Re-Design

5 Books

So here are 3 of the 5 books made by Cassandra, Aichelle and Jamie

Thesis Ideas

I was wondering if everyone could make a post about their thesis idea and call it "My Thesis Idea" or something like that so that people who stumble upon our blog that may and possibly interested (haha) will have a better idea of what we're doing.


Also I think it would be awesome if we could reflect on our thesis at least every month and call it "thesis reflection" or something like that.  I think it can show our progress and process as we continue throughout the year.

(please don't forget to label your posts as well with your name and topic)

5 students = 5 books

Our idea:
To have five different books (handmade/bought) on five different topics/areas that will circulate through the five of us.  We will use this as a learning tool just like this blog.

Topics:
Layout/grids
Designers/Influential people
History
Typography
Drawing

Hey guys,

I just thought you guys should check out this designer.  If you go to the link posted on here you can see her work.  If you scroll down there are classic pieces of literature and she designed the covers for all of them.  It looks great and I think it's a great example of a series.  Her work looks very vintage, as well, which is refreshing and I think you guys might enjoy it.
