Working with one of your initials (T or L), document at least 25 examples of a single letterform in the environment.
Combine your best nine images into a 3 × 3 matrix. Each image should be cropped into a 2.5 inch box.
Your final set of nine photos should create a composition that is 7.5 × 7.5 inches, with no gaps between images. (If you can’t use Adobe, we can discuss alternatives to these specifications, otherwise, try to use InDesign.)
Find different type styles including uppercase, lowercase, italics, bold, serif, sans serif, etc. Crop each letterform to create a dynamic composition.
Try taking the letterform to just before the point where it is no longer recognizable as a character. (But we should be able to tell what letter it is).
Consider how the individual compositions work together as a series.
Pay attention to color relationships, the individual cropping and the scale of the letters themselves.
These should be original photographs. Do not download images from Flickr or any other image site. If asked, you should be able to tell us where each photo was taken.
example:
Think unity and variety: what will unify your nine images (material, size, color, type case etc) and what will provide variety?
Note: *It’s doubtful you can find 25+ individual letterforms. Photograph words that you can then crop to emphasize a particular letter. Your photos should be high quality—no pixelation or unintended blurriness.
