M 2/9
Helvetica movie.

W 2/11
> have multiple images chosen
> project 4 initial thumbnails sketches due [spreads]
[min. 20 of each image/spread]
> consider at least 4 different letterforms for each image/spread,
in each one using different placement and scale/size to reveal othe
r
complementary forms in the photograph.


NOTE:
• digital files: files should be minimum 150 dpi at 100% size [7.5 x 7.5"]
[set your camera on the best quality resolution.]

F 2/13
project 4 roughs
> this can be digital or some mix of digital and sketched,
but tighter and larger than thumbnails
> have your related copy/quote chosen

> consider options of each in which you use the letterform to draw an addition to the photograph, thereby generating a letterform [this makes the spread mor
e active]. in other words, you only see part of the letterform in the image but it is visually continued on the next page with the remainder of the letterform. use an alternate image if necessary. {see sample.}
