Typography: Spring 2021 – Bulletins & Type Projects Collected into a Book
Letterform Project
Letterform Extractions
Students work with a font and create abstractions from the letterforms into a grid structure. Part of this exercise is to learn how to use a grid, rulers, guidelines, convert text to outlines, and to work with masks and two separate illlustrator files.

One of the first projects I have my typography students create is a poster series to creatively explore the anatomy of typography and to develop a cohesive design set. These posters are printed professionally so students begin to learn how to prep files for commercial printing.

Typography: Type as Image
This project challenges student to look at type as an art form. These posters are printed at 24″x 36″ by a commercial printer.
Collaborative Alphabet
These collaborative alphabets were created in my typography class.
Students created 2D Animated letterforms in Adobe Animate,
Students work in teams to pick a font and color scheme.
They vote on the font and scheme.
Students are assigned either a letter, a number or a glyph.
The class size determines the number of characters each student needs to animate.
All of the individual animations are composited in Adobe AfterEffects and set to music.
Enjoy!
