Assignment : Dues!

to reiterate:

type specimen books due this week,
11.19 (mon), 11.21 (wed).

type set books due week after thanksgiving
11.26 (mon), 11.28 (wed).

at least five samples (small graph printed to size) of typefaces you may want to set according to topic chosen due this week,
11.19 (mon), 11.21 (wed).

you may include your icons (or illustrations/photography, though i prefer icons) and your own writing.
overall prefer your writing and icons, but i understand that not everyone wants to write their own text.
therefore, it's optional what text you choose.
credit the author and text if you use someone else's work.

icons and all other course work to date updated on your blog by tonite.

Assignment : DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE : Type Specimen Book for CS3

This is your typo TA Mayumi.
I made Type Specimen Book's template for InDesign CS3.
If you ever start making yours DOWNLOAD + USE IT!!
It's permited by Gen.
If you don't like it change it as you like.
You may feel this assignment is not interested, but IMHO own Type Specimen Book is VERY USEFUL.
Every time you gotta make a block of text, any.. i.e. your favorite music's lyric booklet CD pkgs + etc...
Do it once and use it for lots later... If u got 2 hours, it's done!

DOWNLOAD URL : http://download.yousendit.com/D0EC127F0F892B63
File Name : TypeSpecimenBook-CS3_template.indt.zip 804k

The file only keep in the URL 7 days from 2007/11/13 18:36 or up to 100 download.
So If you need it download it now.

-------------
Here is additional message from Gen. about this template.
template looks great mayumi.
sure, please send it to them. or post and tell them. really nice.
except, they'll need to use less copy because when they get to size 10 or 11 it'll run off the page.
and, when they set larger leading, even the 7 will run off the page.
maybe set with proper leading requests so they don't get confused?

influence map This is a map or diagram of all of my significant artistic influences to date (or all that I could think of), my styles of working and materials. It was created as an assignment to a design class I took this past summer (August 2006). I’m too pleased with it to let it sit in a drawer.

fader / jerry garcia The Fader magazine asked me to do a diagram of Jerry Garcia’s influences, contemporaries and influenced. Now I’m no Deadhead, and I’m not responsible for the content of this, only the look, so if you’ve got complaints (as I would imagine Garcia fans would), don’t come cryin’ to me.

Pleasure to see all uploded imgs on your blogs!
Good works guys!

As the poll on side pane, results so far, many of you update blogs on Sat + Sun.
so, I decided to do weekly typo07gm blog update on every Sunday. [unless more poll on other day.]

TYPO07GM's WEEKLY BLOG UPDATE CLOSING TIME IS SUNDAY 23:59
and
YOU MUST POSTED YOUR BLOG UPDATE NOTICE ON
http://groups.google.com/group/typo07gm
DO NOT FORGET TO PUT YOUR NAME, BLOG URL, CLASS TIME.

Waiting to hear more updated notes on Google-Group for next Sunday update.
and see great new works!

If u gotta some questions, post on google-group.
Thanx
TA: Mayumi aka artsnob101

G-Group typo07gm : Send All Message to...

Typo07gm's Google Group is set up!

ALL MUST JOIN + Log-in once a week.
Please post all of your messages + questions at
G-Group typo07gm

http://groups.google.com/group/typo07gm

Genv. and your 3 Typo TAs [ Ekaterina, Dilhan ,Mayumi[aka artsnob101] will answer your questions.
If you think you can answer or reply to others,
by all means, help your mate!
Reading others' replies might solve your problems as well.

Why have G-group list?
Gen gets many redundant emails asking the same questions. It would save time if the answers can be viewed by all. G-Group typo07gm lets us bundle all questions together so we can help each other. So please ask your questions and comments to G-Group typo07gm. This will help promote class dialogue.

Please note that this does not mean Gen won't be available, we're trying to make things easier and eliminate redundant tasks.

If you update your blog, email your update notice to G-Group typo07gm, I will check it and post good work in here.
Also, I need your help:
when you upload images in your blog,
: upload each image separately in jpg format
: do not bundle the images into 1 big image
Thanks in advance.

We've noticed that there hasn't been much interaction within student blogs. We encourage comments because everyone wants to hear
constructive criticism. Feel free to post comments directly on this blog.

Good luck with all your projects and waiting to see more great work from you!
see you @ G-Group typo07gm
