Project #A5: Word Art Guidelines

Assignment #5
Word Art 
(10 points)
Alicia Casel

In this project you will focus on typography to create an illustration that incorporates text as an integral part of the image or image shape

Your second assignment in Illustrator is to create a graphic that uses text as an integral part of an illustration or vice versa. Examples: You might create an illustration of an elephant made up of the repeating word “elephant” in various fonts and type weights. Or, you might create the word “elephant” out of a font you design that resembles elephants. Your project should be engaging and artistic, yet also show an understanding of typography and vector creation. Create a mock-up for review with me before starting on the final—this may be hand-drawn or put together quickly using Photoshop to "demo" your idea. There is a great deal of latitude with how you approach this project, but you need to run your ideas by me before you execute them to make sure you are within the parameters of the project. Your graphic should include representative imagery (object/s) and a word or phrase(s) appropriately integrated while balancing an overall composition that gives a sense of style and texture appropriate to the subject matter.

Your project will be evaluated on its originality, finesse, use of vector software, effective interpretation, readability, creativity, interest, effective typography, comprehension of type tools, balance, and professional presentation.

When ready for evaluation, upload the finished product into your folder on the server  (put your name in the file!).
