 Add Type to Art 
(above by Ami Soto)
  • (2 pts)
    First, watch the two videos below. Take a previous piece of artwork done in class (could be a practice exercise, Photoshop assignment, or vector graphic) and, using InDesign, add typography--a headline, a caption/slogan, a word, or several words--to give the composition new meaning. Think in terms of symbolism, metaphor, impact, effective type design, unity of style, and polished composition/depth. In other words, use the skills you've read about in your textbook and discussed in class to make the type work WITH the existing art as a integrate whole that suggests effective unity and puts a new spin on your artwork. (Don't just plop that type in--make it PART of the artwork.)
