There are two items of Studio Research to be carried out in the first busy week of this elective.
Firstly, read Lecture 1 at: http://www.staff.cofa.unsw.edu.au/~ianmcarthur/week_01.html
Studio Research 1 (SR1): due week 2
Select a typeface (eg: Helvetica) or a type-style (eg: Neo-Grotesque) on which you will focus in project 1. Collect a specimen for the type and write a 500 word critique of its design. This written appraisal will include description of design features (for instance serifs, stroke weight, counters, proportion, suited applications), its classification, and information on its historical background and designer. Include a relevant reference list. Post to the class blog here.
Studio Research 2 (SR2): due week 2
Provide a series of 4 design proposals for your postcard, ready to be composed in printing types.
These may be produced as measured drawings, or digital estimations. Scan or photograph and post to the class blog here.
We are looking forward to seeing your responses to these preliminary tasks.
