7 letter sculptures.
Inspired by the art of George Segal we will be creating 7 letter sculptures using Adobe Illustrator & plaster. This is an introduction to graphic design and a way to take our imaging out of the computer.
Objective: SWBAT create a plaster tattooed arm including 7 different letters, 7 different typefaces in adobe illustrator, studying typography. *Letters cannot repeat or touch.
Step 1: Photoshop > File New > 8 x 10 Document 300 Resolution
Step 2: Choose the TEXT Tool and type only 1 letter
Step 3: Click on your layer to be sure it stays where it is.....
Step 4: MOST IMPORTANT * Go to LAYER > RASTERIZE > TYPE (nothing will happen that you can see but this will make the text editable, not edible...lol)
Step 5: NOW go to EDIT > TRANSFORM > WARP
Step 6: Warp your letter to change it's primary features but don't warp it too much. You should still be able to see positive and negative space as well as what type of letter it could possibly be!
Step 7: Want to move your letter? COMMAND T
Step 8: Repeat the above steps- Strategically place the next letter close to first letter. *Keep the spacing between letters consistent.
Remember to use 7 DIFFERENT LETTERS and 7 DIFFERENT FONTS! Letters cannot repeat or touch!
Bend, Turn, Curve, and ARRANGE your letters into a VISUALLY APPEALING COMPOSITION.
