Research the Project

Definition Research - Select two words from the following list: Transition, Disruption, Relaxation, Migration, Expansion, Evolution, Compression, Exhilaration, Repression, and Elimination.

Once again the research stage is a vital part to establishing the foundation for creativity. So we start by first finding the definition from at least two different (dictionaries) sources. Then document your research by creating a Word file that lists the two definitions for each of the words and highlight key words that you feel are most descriptive for the meaning of the word. Then take the time to consider their meanings carefully and think about how the meanings can be expressed typographically.

Pictorial Research - Designing w/Type Design – Using the internet to find 5 examples of typographic designs that show the use of typographic fundamentals. Study the examples and determine which type fundmentals are being applied to the typeface to visually help convey the message. In addition what type elements are being used to support and enhance the typeface. Then document your research by creating a Word file and insert the 5 images which you have found.
