EXERCISE ONE:
choose from one of the following typefaces:
Helvetica
Peignot
Cooper Black
Egyptian
Bodoni
Baskerville
Garamond
Blackletter
Research the history of the typeface.
Use the alphabet (converted to outlines in Illustrator) to create a group of icons based upon imagery/art from the time period. (cut up and reassemble with the knife tool)
No scale shifts, but the letters/parts can be copied as many times as is necessary.
The entire alphabet should be used, no leftover parts.
(note: this project is based on Ellen Lupton's class project "Helvetica Nation" for Graphic Design II at the Maryland Institute College of Art)
