Paragraph Iterations

mollybrownisloud1 Comment

Any suggestions, critiques, or even advice on this project will be extremely helpful. I find myself struggling with this project like the first assignment, so anything, and I mean anything is helpful in the long run!

I jumped around in this iteration process. I went back to my very first iteration and tweaked it a bit half way through, trying out small things just to see how it’d affect the overall composition. The last three were a process of me finding an idea I liked. Each sentence is meant to be interlocking with the other, eluding to how the paragraph describes the relationship of the human ear and human voice. “Forming one complete organ”. If anyone has any suggestions on how I might be able to build on some of these iterations, please let me know. Even simply saying which you like most is helpful! Thank you!

9/23 Class Follow-up

Hey there everyone,


Here is what’s due for next week!

  • Great job on your typography posters everyone. Please make sure that your .ai file and a .pdf of your final poster design are in your Google Drive folder. I will be checking while grading.
  • For Your Paragraph Exercise – Make a bunch of iterations/pages, try to get to 10. If you run out of ideas for the paragraph you picked, go ahead and pick another. From your 10 designs, pick your top 3, post them on the blog, and print/trim them for critique next week. After critique you will have a short amount of time to make adjustments, print, and trim your final design. If you run into any issues in InDesign, there are a ton of resources online that cover InDesign type basics. We will go more in-depth next week but this will warm you up to the software.
  • Readings – Read Chapter 3 of Just My Type (I emailed it and put it in Google drive), and also read sections on Line spacing, Alignment, Vertical Text, Making Paragraphs, Enlarged Capitals, and Hierarchy from Thinking With Type. Same as last week, jot down some notes or thoughts you have while reading and we’ll talk about it next week.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
