CC2, Week 3: Sketching Type in a Layout

You can try reproducing these layouts by observation and calculation OR drag Layout Page 1 and Page 2 (below) off this blog to your desktop and print them out.

Each one should fit on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. Once you've printed them, you may use pencil or markers (or both) to reproduce them.



You can trace through the pages by using a light table, a glass coffee table with a small table lamp placed under it, or by taping the pages to a window.

But don't just reproduce the exercises - study what they are telling you about how to organize a good vs. bad layout.

Due at the beginning of next Wedneday's class.

Week 3 sketchbook assignment: Choose any person (real or imaginary) and sketch their head in perspective in a layout includes the type of a magazine cover of your choice. For example, you could sketch your own face on the cover of TIME magazine or sketch a favourite video game character on the cover of Playstation magazine. NOTE: If you choose an imaginary character, you must do a "realistic" interpretation - not a cartoony version.

Due in the Week 3 Sketchbook Drop Box at 1 p.m. on July 21st.
