Materials
Different font styles from magazines & newspapers, pencils, New York Times, Teen Magazines, reproductions of posters with fonts, design sketchbooks
Challenge students to change the style of their text to express the spirit of their theme. They can use collaged materials, handmade text, or text from magazines.
Display samples to choose from: drawn by hand; produced mechanically: stenciled or transferred, designed and cut out from a variety of papers; collaged from newspapers or magazine in their sketchbooks.
- What can you vary when doing this? ( style, size, spacing, placement, and repetition)
At home or in school, use your computer to study different fonts. Print out several that you think would work well in your poster and bring them in for our next class. Print them large enough so that you can easily see the details that make them different from other styles. (Community and Cultural Resources)
