VIS COM - Assessment 3B Typography Image

Typography Image

for this project you need to select either an image of your choice (must be an image and not a photograph and needs to contain at least 2 or more solid parts) OR you can use the Map of Canada in the link below.

You need to fill your image with words that relate to the image. Look at some examples below.

remember to follow the steps below to get started.

1. First you need to make the parts of your image their own images. you do this by using the magic wand and cutting and pasting.

2. Once all your parts are separated you need to start putting your text in.
                Your Text Needs to:
                    1. Be different sizes
                    2. Be different Colours
                    3. Be Different Directions
                    4. Be different Styles
      your text can be in separate text boxes and must fill the image. (DO NOT PASTE THE TEXT INSIDE 
      UNTIL YOU HAVE ADDED ALL YOUR TEXT!)
 If you have multiple text boxes you now need to group them together. this is done by selecting all of them  
 (click one and then hold shift and click the rest)
 once you have them all selected click MODIFY on the top tool bar then FLATTEN SELECTION
 This will group all of your text boxes into one.

3.now you need to cut your text and paste it inside of a selected part of you image.

Fonts are able to create meaning with their size, style, position etc. It is your task to create a font that represents the meaning of the word or phrase that you choose. The MILK text we did in class is a good  example. Further examples of work created by M.E. LaZerte students can be found on the far wall. You need to use a computer to draw the letters and create the illustration, you may choose to use fireworks or illustrator to complete this project. The finished product must be neat and professional looking.

When you are finished you need to submit you PNG or Illustrator file to the drop box and then post your image to your blog. If you do not do both you will no receive a mark for this assignment.
