Practice Exercise #6
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.)

Practice Exercise #7Page Layout Tutorial
(Due Thursday, end of class)
- 2 pts.
Directions: Complete the 3-part step-by-step newsletter layout tutorial in InDesign that is found at Tutorial7.doc This is a pretty involved tutorial so give yourself PLENTY of time to complete this practice assignment and watch all the videos for InDesign in the training tab FIRST. (When you are done, you should be an expert in building a document using in InDesign!).
While you work on this assignment, you should go forward and work on Assignments 8 & 9--you may even finish them before you've finished the tutorial.
- Note: there are several basic composition and design issues built into this tutorial that detract from the finished product. Find them and improve the final product. Your grade will be based on technical skill and completion of the tutorial but will also reflect how well you are able to improve upon the instructions provided.
