Black and White Scan into Photoshop

Hand Drawn Type - Quote Page

Objective
To choose a quote that you find inspiring, true, poignant, poetic or just plain cool.
To create a suitable typeface for your quote page.
To evidence your understanding of the expressiveness of typography.

Task
1. Over pages of your sketchbook, experiment with hand drawn typefaces that you have copied from the web or invented yourself. Make sure you have a 'full character set' (all the letters of the alphabet).
Work in black and white. Leave in your mistakes.

2. Find a quote. You could use a line from a song or poem if you wish. 

You will be scanning your pages in and Photoshopping them, so don't attempt to write out the quote all fancy yet!

Covering your sketchbook

Outcome
An original and beautifully covered sketchbook to be proud of. A signal to other that you are a magician.

Task
We are going to have some enforced fun covering our sketchbooks!!
Your task starts now.
Look around the web and collect stuff to stick on the front and back.
It will be a good idea if you create a Pinterest account and search there.
Think about collecting pics of bands, art, typography, texture, labels, patterns, stickers
etc etc.
Other than that, you could draw separate things and overlap them in a sticker-ish manner.
Also, I would recommend a label (hand drawn or on Photoshop) that includes your Name, GCSE Graphics, Book 1. Maybe even a 'if found please return to room 41' label.
When you cover your book, you need to cover the front and back, other than for considered design choices.
Could you please bring £4 for the sketchbook and 50p for the sticky plastic covering. FSM are free.

Lookey HERE for a link to a pinboard full of sketchbook cover examples... but you could really look anywhere for inspiration.
