Northeastern University College of Professional S Typography Initials Exercise

Working with one of your initials (T or L), document at least 25 examples of a singleletterform in the environment.

Combine your best nine images into a 3 × 3 matrix. Each image should be cropped into a 2.5 inchbox.

Your final set of nine photos should create a composition that is 7.5 × 7.5 inches, with no gapsbetween images. (If you can’t use Adobe, we can discuss alternatives to these specifications,otherwise, try to use InDesign.)

Find different type styles including uppercase, lowercase, italics, bold, serif, sans serif, etc.Crop each letterform to create a dynamic composition.

Try taking the letterform to just before the point where it is no longer recognizable as a character.(But we should be able to tell what letter it is).

Consider how the individual compositions work together as a series.

Pay attention to color relationships, the individual cropping and the scale of the lettersthemselves.
