The Chronicle of CCA Design Student

Mountain Of Homework

It’s only the first week of class and I am already behind on homework.

In Graphic Design I, everyone was randomly given a real music record label. Mine is Secretly Canadian; the idea is that we research the label and create a new logo for it. I have finished my research, and I need to make thirty sketches by Tuesday.

In Tools I, we are tracing over the word typophile (a made-up word meaning type lover) that was rendered in an Old English font.  The tracing has to be accurate down to 4800% view, so it is taking me about 1 hour per letter, so probably 9 hours total. It is due on Monday (a school holiday) by email at 9am. We must also trace three hand sketched logos made by the professor by Wednesday.

In Typography I, each person needs to choose two pairs of letters, one pair that are similar and one pair that are dissimilar. From these we must make compositions that communicate similar and disslimar. There are many rules. We can only use Helvetica or Univers at 36 or 48 points. The composition must be within a 6.5 inch square. This is also due on Wednesday.

I will post my work as I make it.
