COMD250 Fall 2019

Great work so far everyone on your type posters. Looking forward to seeing how they improve next week.

Here is everything due for 9/23:

• Write a short response to the film we watched in class, Graphic Means. This will be replacing “Assignment 3” in our Syllabus. Please follow the guidelines below:
  • What topic/topics impacted you the most from the film?
    
  • Based on what you’ve learned so far about typography, how will learning certain things from the film impact your work or design thinking moving forward?
  • 2 single-sided, or 1 double-sided 8.5×11 page, Times New Roman, 10pt., double spaced (2.0 in MS Word), 1″ margin.
  • Include your name and class section in the header.
• Read Chapters 1 & 2 of Just My Type. A scan of the book is available in the google drive “readings” folder and I also emailed it to all of you. Take notes and have something to talk about from the reading. We’ll have a class discussion about it.
• Continue revisions on your Typography Posters. We will have another critique on your revised designs at the beginning of the next class, and the final designs will be due at the end of next class.

If you want feedback on any poster revisions, post them on the blog! Also, check the blog periodically to provide feedback to your classmates.

Email me (or comment below) with any questions or if you’d like specific feedback on anything. Enjoy your week!
