Type Creatures

Final Product (updated March 26) - scan all of your 26 animals at Greyscale 8-bit, 300dpi or better, but no more than 600dpi. Bind and turn in your booklet.

Create 26 creatures using magazines found in the Rutledge 212 book case. You may use any typeface found within the magazines, but it must be black in color (no grey, no color).

Start with A, move to B, then C; do all 26 letters of the alphabet:
  • 1st design for A: make an aardvark;
  • 2nd design for B: make a beetle;
  • 3rd design for C: make a camal;
  • proceed all the way to Z
Creatures must be 'real', no fantasy, no monsters, no invented creatures. Acceptable: mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects, crustaceans.

Work black on white paper. Use the assigned white paper and glue sticks.

Other tools needed: X-acto; cutting surface.

Final 26 compositions will be built into a small booklet. Click to enlarge.
