Typography - 1st and 5th periods

Hello students, I'm out sick today.

Please work on this lesson about TYPOGRAPHY. Please read this carefully for instructions on what you need to do today.

Good luck, and I'll see you tomorrow!

1. REMEMBER/LEARN: 

Another element of design is TYPOGRAPHY, which is the study, style and appearance of fonts and letters.

2. ACTIVITY, Part 1: 
Please look at these example webpages. I'm sorry if some of them are blocked. :(

*BTW, if none of these work, please just enter "typography inspiration" on Google, and look through any of those links. 

3. ACTIVITY, Part 2: 
Answer these questions on a separate piece of paper and stick in your DESIGN folder (the one with the magazine cutouts):

   1. What is typography?

   2. What is one example of typography that you really like? What is the name? What do you like about it? Please describe using vocabulary from last week's ELEMENTS OF DESIGN discussion (color, shape, line, texture).

   3. Attach that example of typography on this paper (Find it online or in a magazine, and staple it or tape it to your paper; you can also print if you need but remember please be careful you print out only what you need. Also, there's a sub, so you may need to help work the machine and find paper).

   4. Find online or in a magazine, cut out, and attach an example of typography that is "modern" or "new." Explain why you think it's modern or new.

   5. Find and attach an example of typography that is "old-fashioned" or "traditional." Explain why you think it's old-fashioned or traditional.

   6. Find and attach an example of typography that is "fresh." Explain why you think it's fresh.

   7. Find and attach an example of typography that you'd see in the future. Explain why you think it's futuristic.
  
   8. Finally, hand draw your name in a font of your own creation.

New York Times, 2011 Year In Review, Pictures

Questions to consider today:

When telling a story...
-What's difference between words and pictures?
-When would you use words? And when would a picture be better?
