This is the first page of my assignment so far!
This is the second page of my assignment!
Third!
Lastly, the fourth!

Any feedback is much appreciated!

I tried to pour as much work into this as I could so I could upload a draft and revise as much as possible. Typography is something I’ve always struggled with, so anything anyone can give me is great! I’m more than willing to revise any design and try out whatever’s suggested! Thank you guys!

8/26 Class Follow-Up

It was a pleasure getting to meet you all today! I will slowly get better and better with names , I promise.

Here is a list of things due for next week (9/2) and for the next time we meet (9/9):

  • For Monday, 9/2 – Class 2
    • Post a reply to the “Hello, my name is “introduce yourself.” blog post.
    • We don’t meet next Monday, but check your Assignment 1 Quotation Iteration assignment sheet for some blog activity that will be due.
    • Continue building your quote variations, post 30 of your variations by 9/3, and comment on your classmates with feedback by 9/5.
    • Please read the sections Anatomy, Size, and Scale in this Thinking With Type article. The terminology explained will help you with your assignment.
    • I will leave the examples I showed in class in our flat file (3rd drawer down). Please be respectful to your classmates and put them back when you are done looking at them.
    • Make sure the type family you’re using is “Helvetica Neue LT Std” not “Helvetica Neue”. Helvetica Neue LT Std is the more up-to-date version and it has numbers next to the different font styles (75 Bold, 53 Extended, 55 Roman, etc.).
    • Roman is regular! There’s a typo in the template so just use the roman version.
    • If you don’t see Italic available for a style option, go with Oblique – for example: Extended Oblique.
  • For Monday, 9/9 – Class 3
    • We will begin class with a critique of all your Quote Variations. Have all 4 pages printed (not double-sided) before-hand and bring them to class. 11″x17″ paper is available in the printer. When you open the printer pop-up, you can find 11×17 in the Media Size dropdown.
    • Please bring white foam board, an Exacto knife with a fresh blade, rubber cement, and a ruler to next class. We will be mounting your final quote in class.

I will let you all know via email if anything changes but please email me at csharp@mwpai.edu with any questions.

Good luck!

Hello, my name is “introduce yourself”.

Comment on this post and tell me a little something about yourself.

Why? It will help me and your fellow classmates get to know you!

Knowing you better will help me assess where you’re at, understand where you come from, and how I can best help you grow in this course.

You can respond in a bullet format, or a short paragraph. Here are a few items to help get you started.

  • Fullname/Nickname
  • Pronouns you identify as (he/him/his, she/her/hers, they/them…)?
  • Where you’re from?
  • Academic major?
  • What Section of Typography and Information Design you’re in (1 or 2)
  • Any previous college education before PrattMWP?
  • Any previous experience in other design software? (Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, etc.)
  • Favorite food (and any food allergies)?
  • Favorite kind of music?
  • 1 fun fact about yourself that people may not know, or anything else you’d like to mention?

Looking forward to getting to know all of you this semester!
