Homework
- Revise as needed your 2 sketches (paper and pencil) to explore different possibilities for your final poster layout. Don’t assume first ideas and solutions are the best. Take chances, you can always tighten things up later. You may add type at this stage. Think about using type to help visually communicate your concept. Experiment with a variety of approaches. Experiment with type and composition perhaps focus on the expression through the letterforms themselves, as well as through their arrangement on the page.
