Assignment 3: Typography

Using Adobe Illustrator and Rhino, create a 2-D typographic design.

Carefully design both the negative and positive space, considering how the design will appear once it’s fabricated. In assignment 4 you will have the opportunity to produce this design.

Begin with a concept - where, in the real world, would this typography appear? What are the aesthetic qualities or design characteristics of this thing - i.e. is it delicate, powerful, playful, old-timey, etc..? Utilize a font and layout that supports this concept.

Be sure to design this assignment at a scale that can be produced on the laser cutter in the BTU lab (the laser bed is 18” x 32”).

Create a blog post that includes:

• A brief description of what you made and the concept that inspired your design
• Screenshots of your process - at least 4

Turn your work in on Edmodo - submit your .3dm Rhino file and also a link to your blog documentation.

Assignment 4 is due before class on September 21st
