Graphic Design I: Exploring Letterforms

Graphic Design I art work has taken over the CFA! 

For the past two weeks, the students of Graphic Design I have been working on letterforms. Each student had to create two large-scale drawings that presented interesting/unique compositions. They had to label 5 parts of the letter's anatomy (shoulder, cap height, ear, bowl, etc.) The supplies they were allowed to use were: butcher paper, paint, pencil, charcoal and they could only use the colors black and white in their designs.

"The letters seem more worthy of being viewed in the hallway as opposed to just checking them out in the studio. Some work better at a distance and for some it is nice to be able to walk right up and get a feel for the tiny details.” - Tori Philbsen

“The white of Melinda’s ‘K’ against the neutral color of the brick make for great contrasting coloring that draws the eye.” - Micky Flynn
