Your calendar is now due Tuesday 11/3. This gives you today and two more workdays in class next week as well as the time between class to complete this project.
The new project will be a Type Specimen booklet. I will bring in some examples for us to look at together when we begin the project.
A type specimen is a publication, often in pamphlet form, that shows the range of a particular typeface in use. Printers and typographers have produced type specimens for hundreds of years. In the digital age, type specimens have become more experimental, and they remain a crucial way to promote and explain typefaces to designers who might want to buy and use them. Your type specimen can use any "content" to display the typeface at different sizes and in different conditions. You could download content from wikipedia.com, or make your own content on any subject.
I will let you all know about the details of the Type Specimen project on 11/3.
