Achieve a harmonious synthesis between type and image, creating a unique visual configuration. Explore the dynamic relationship between positive and negative space. Create a hybrid form that preserves the recognizability of both the letterform and the image.
Process
• Each student will choose a different letterform from the alphabet.
• Think of an object that begins with the chosen letter to be rendered in visually simplified form.
• Combine the letterform and the image of the object as described below.
• Create a hybrid form that preserves the recognizability of both the letterform and the image.
• Achieve a harmonious synthesis between type and image – create a new visual configuration.
• Explore the dynamic relationship between positive and negative space.
• Make sure your work is vector-based and black and white.
• Strive for a successful creation of a new visual configuration.
• Generate a graphically sophisticated relationship between the form and counterform.
• Create professional rendered forms.Production• Begin by printing a copy of the letterform 7” high in Helvetica Black.
• Use a tracing paper to draw the image you want to combine with the letterform.
