Your first assignment is:

Module 4B: Typography

Suggested Time : 6-8 hours
Level : Intermediate
Prerequisite : Module 4A
Outcome: Demonstrate effective use of typography in communicating a message.

1. Select fonts which complement each other and justify these choices based on predetermined criteria.
   
2. Combine varieties of type with images to produce an effective message.
   
3. Create an illustration through the manipulation of type.

Your job is to create a type based image. This image will be your name, however you will treat your letters as graphic images. Each image should relate to each other and compliment the whole image. Your outcome is asking you to communicate a message so your images that you create as your font should tell a story about you.

To create your image think of it as a colouring book. Create the shape of your letters and then go and illustrate images inside each letter that help tell your story.

When you are finished you need to add your final image plus the exported video of your drawing to your blog. Videos work best if you place them on YouTube first. You also have to fill out a self reflection for this assignment.
