For this assignment, you must construct each UPPERCASE symbol to be a part of the 3 typefaces below, totaling 9 new symbols: Futura Book Baskerville Regular Signpainter Housescript Learn about each typeface at their respective typefoundry site Futura by Linotype (https://www.linotype.com/1212991/futura-family.html) Baskerville by Linotype (https://www.linotype.com/43255/baskerville-family.html) and Signpainter by House Industries (https://houseind.com/hi/signpainter) From there we will investigate each typeface, by viewing and printing it’s current full alphabet and glyphs via illustrator. After studying the characters I suggest you trace over them to get a feel for their structure. From there you will digitize this new letterform, keeping in mind how letterform relates to the baseline of the entire typeface, and finally you will set the new letter form into a quote. For next Monday’s critique: – Prepare a description in your own words explaining the typeface’s characteristics and its anatomy (handout and found on the resources page on the class site) and how it relates back to the existing typeface. – Prepare and print your speciman page on a tabloid sheet, 17”x11”. (Wednesday’s class) – Typeset your favorite Futura, Baskerville, and Signpainter letterform into a moviequote of your choice replacing an existing UPPERCASE letter with your new form on a tabloid sheet, 17”x11”, remeber to keep in mind how these new forms relate to the baseline of the exisiting typeface. (Wednesday’s class).
