Graphic Design Visual Communication Challenge: "The Typography Triathalon, PART THREE"

PROJECT: Students have been working on Typographic exercises throughout the year. The time has come to put all of your Typography skills to the test in a final Typography Challenge: "The Typography Triathalon!" You have already completed Part ONE, now it is time for part two."

BEFORE YOU START: Using YOUIDRAW from GOOGLE DRIVE, create a new drawing. SAVE THIS DRAWING AS TRIATHALON_PART_THREE. You will be making ONE TYPOGRAPHICAL CANVAS, with a total of FIVE IMAGES on it. At the end of this part of the project, you will SHARE THIS FILE with MR. B.!

A WARNING: Please make sure that you read the instructions for each leg of the challenge very thoroughly!

THE PARTS: There will be THREE PARTS to this challenge, we will be taking them ONE PART AT A TIME for now, so we don't get overwhelmed with our ONLINE PROJECT. This is PART THREE.

FONTS: For this project, you are allowed to use ANY font that you wish from YOUIDRAW. They have LOTS. PLEASE DO NOT USE A CRAZY FONT, THOUGH, let your typography speak for itself, don't rely on the font to do the work for you!

BREAKING WORDS INTO LETTERS: In ILLUSTRATOR, we are able to BREAK WORDS apart in their individual letters. So far, I have been unable to find a way to do this in YOUIDRAW. You will probably need to TYPE EACH LETTER ON ITS OWN LAYER for this project. If you find a way to break words apart in this program, let me know and I will give you 25 extra credit points!

PART THREE: THE LOGOS- For this final leg of the triathalon, you will be creating a short series of FIVE Typographic LOGOS. Your logos will be created ONLY FROM YOUR NAME(S).

Each of the FIVE LOGOS will be created on a YOUIDRAW canvas. You may use any font that you wish in the YOUIDRAW app, but I recommend using SIMPLE FONTS, such as ARIAL, etc. For this part of the TRIATHALON, you may use only BLACK and WHITE letterforms. Each of the five different logos that you create will represent a different JOB OR CAREER THAT YOU COULD HAVE THAT SELLS A PRODUCT OR SERVICE. Each logo will consist of your "YOUR NAME" and will clearly demonstrate your product or service in the presentation of the typography of your name. You are allowed to complete MINOR shape and tool manipulation of the letters.

Examples of Mr. B.'s Logos are seen below:

CROSS BUILDER

HIGHWAY LINE PAINTER

Please create all of these logos on one YOUIDRAW canvas, called: LOGOS.

IDENTIFYING YOUR LOGOS: When you have completed this part of the Triathalon, please go online to THIS TYPOGRAPHY TRIATHALON SELF-EVALUATION FORM. Complete the form, telling Mr. B. what OCCUPATION each of your logos was meant to represent, as well as your CLICHE, in case I can't tell what they are!

SUBMITTING YOUR WORK: When you are done with your canvas, save your drawing to your GOOGLE DRIVE and SHARE IT WITH MR. B.

GRADING: Where your 5 logos are worth 10 points each. As usual, if you put thought and effort into your solution, you will receive 10 points for each LOGO. If you did not complete a LOGO, you will get ZERO points. ANYTHING ELSE? You will get 5 points per logo. Your cliche needs to be submitted to Mr. B. by SUNDAY, APRIL 12TH for grading.

TROUBLES OR ISSUES? If you are having any difficulties, can't use program, can't think of ideas, dog ate your computer, EMAIL MR. B., he will help!
