Here's some examples below of what I'm looking for in your word semantics project. Notice how successful they are by just using the type to communicate the meaning of the word.
Be witty, clever and creative in your compositions. Even though you can use vector graphics, use them with reserve, let the type to do the heavy lifting.
I want to see everyone really play and experiment with how you can communicate your word/phrase with:
1. the composition
2. choice of typeface that expresses your word
3. selective use of other vector graphics (if it's NECESSARY to communicate your word)
4. use of color in the color version
Set up your document to fit the size of the final boards that you will turn in. For example if you are using 12" x 18" boards, set the size of the document/artboard to 12"x18" and add a 1/4" bleed if you have objects that you want flush against the edge of your print. Then you'll print to 13"x19" paper and will trim it down to 12"x18".
We'll talk more about the process of making your presentation boards and I'll give a demonstration next Thursday to help clarify for those of you who haven't done this before.
