Introduction

In Training Room 3, you have gained a greater appreciation of how designers and layout artists use typography to effectively manipulate the the visual appearance of text in a visual composition so that the viewer is influenced by the work that they see. To summarize your learning in this training room, you have the task of creating a new typeface font that reflects a characteristic or trait that you are most proud of. You will be writing your family name using letters from your typeface that you are going to create.

Materials

Photoshop, Illustrator or other similar graphic editing program
Access to an online font builder such as fontstruct.com, fontark.net, or metaflop.com

Project Assessment

This project is intended to be evaluated as a formative assessment. You will be able to revise your work once you have received feedback from your peers or teacher. Please review the Project 3 Rubric found in the Toolkit or check with your teacher for any further instructions regarding your assessment.

Directions

You are going to create a font that reflects the characteristics that you are most proud of. Using your typeface family, you will spell out your family (last) name. If you have fewer than 4 unique letters, then you will need to add first name initials for a minimum of 4 letters. Save your name as a .png file with the naming nomenclature of firstname.png.

Suggested Time

Depending on what medium you wish to work with, the creation of the visual compositions will likely take between 1 – 3 hours.
