graphic design: Typography

Graphic design students have finished their work with branding and identity designs, now we are on to typography.  Be sure to ask you kids about Mr. Petersen's commandments of typography!!    We have been discussing effective typography practice, and how a different message can be delivered just by changing the space and weight of the letters.  We have also looked at some different styles including grunge design by David Carson.  We are practicing putting together some typography prints and will then finally put together one of our own.  This is such a great group of students, and I am really enjoying seeing their work this term!

adv graphic design Project Work

Students have all turned in their project proposals, their outlines, and their mood boards.  Now it is time to roll up our sleeves and get to work on our projects.  For the next several weeks, students will be working on their projects.  They need to have a one on one meeting with me at least one time each week where we can have conversations about our work and progress to see if any changes need to be made to our timeline or overall project goals.  Students have great ideas and now it's time to start making them become a reality.
