Typography Unit Begins!

For your first project (Assignment 7), you're going to create a pattern out of type.

1. Look up the typography of Herb Lubalin, Bob Farber, and Ed Benguiat where they have stacked type in various formats.
2. Copy 3 of their typographic compositions in your sketchbook (yeah, you should have one by now)
3. On Illustrator, design one word using narrow inter-letter spacing (kearning) – Be sure to choose a word that begins and ends with the same letter.  (I will show you how to do this.)
4. Vertically flip the word over and stack them below the original. 
5.  Repeat the flipping as many times to fill a tabloid sized document (11x17)-make sure to form dynamic positive and negative stack of shapes.
