~A Couple of Typography Projects~

These are only a few "Computer Graphic's" projects that I have done. Typography was my first real computer graphics class and I learned so much! But, I will be adding more of these later.ABOVE: This project was my favorite. This is an example of a public service newspaper add. We got to create it all. I wanted to do child abuse at first but we were supposed to have a picture in there and I just couldn't do that. Then I chose adoption because it is so important also. I found this family in a magazine. I wanted to make it look like the little boy wrote a letter above the picture and the information of the add. I wanted it to look just like a little boy would do it. The handwriting could have been much sloppier. I crumpled a torn out piece of paper. I tore it and made it a little worn. I misspelled a few words with his writing. I wanted it to look like the little boy used masking tape to tape it to the add. To do this, I had to do all the above, then use masking tape to tape it onto black mat board. I had to get the lighting just right and I took a million pictures (it seems like to get just the effect I wanted). I had no idea that it took this much but I am very proud of it.

ABOVE: I believe this was our first project we did in Typography and it was so much fun. We had to use ONLY computer fonts to make a self portrait of ourselves. It was so much fun to see everyone's because most of them truly looked like the person.

ABOVE: I think this was either the first of second thing we did in Typography. This was to be a small poster. We were to use only 2 colors. We could use different shades of the color. Looking back, I now could do this so much better but AGAIN, that is why I post these to remind us that we ALL get better with practice and learn from our mistakes.
