Homework for Tuesday, Feb 5.

Hi everyone, I just realized that I had not updated the homework for this week (still reflected stuff from previous quarter.) As mentioned in class, the homework due Tues, Feb 5 is the following:

1. Finish posters - - Taking into consideration suggestions made in class, finalize your "Calling Out" poster designs in Illustrator and bring to class.

2. Finish Kickstarter projects- -Be ready to launch! Finish all components (including video) to your Kickstarter. Make sure to verify your account via Amazon!! We will do one last look over in class and then launch.

3. Bring 1 image of a previous work (your own) that you are particularly fond of. We will use these images to discuss principles of design in class.

See you in class!

Spice up your sans serif!

Hi everyone! We all love our arials and helveticas, but here are several links to some wonderful sans serif fonts for designers that are (for the most part) free to download!! There are a lot of craaazy, fun, and louder fonts out there (i.e. one of my favs, buffy the vampire font), but it's also important to have alternatives to your basic sans-serif to add a little style and edge to your text designs and layouts.

Welcome to Digital Publishing 3107!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Digital Publishing 3107. Over the course of the next 11 weeks we will be learning about typography and layout design and using those skills to design a book of your own work; all the while putting together and running a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds for printing costs.

This is going to be an amazing quarter!
