Typographer's Portrait

FOR CLASS MONDAY

Please have a brush, water (container), black paint / ink, ruler and pencil for Monday. Also don't forget to study for the type anatomy quiz. Please read pages 13 to 51 in your book for Monday. (not as scary as it seems...be sure to get the history overview in).


If you can't find the typographer's font for free please find a similar font in style to create their portrait in. The portraits need to be on 11x17  printed, B&W. Please center the portrait. Beneath the portrait of the typographer please put their name in the font that you have been using in 13 point. Centered underneath that the name of the font that you have used, the date the font was created in 10 pt italics. Please create a 3 inch margin for the bottom of the piece...this means that you text should not enter this 3 inch zone. Have the portrait printed out for class on Monday. Below are a few examples from previous years to look over. Again...more simple the forms are the better these turn out generally. If you are doing overlap please be careful to let the natural form of the letter show through.
