COMMUNICATION THROUGH TYPOGRAPHY AND LAYOUT
The 27th Letter
Objectives:
Create a unique "27th letter" using the first letters of your first and last name as a typographic self-portrait, maintaining the same typeface and style for both. Design two posters: a large black-and-white poster (36" x 48") showcasing your letter and a smaller full-color type specimen poster (11" x 17") featuring the full alphabet, a design description, and font background.
Out of Many 100
Objectives:
Redesign the Jamaican 100-dollar bill for a fictional 100-year independence anniversary in the style of a chosen designer ( I chose Milton Fraser). Research their unique typography approach, incorporate elements from their portfolio, and create a cohesive, commemorative design that integrates existing bill text and an anniversary logo.
