Welcome to the Spring 2002: Typography 1 class project web site. In this site you will be able to examine, learn about and explore the students work, which was to produce a mini 5 page web site on a particular font that the individual student had randomly selected.

Run your cursor over the Stamps below to see who participated in this class project and what font site they designed and produced.

Each font site is comprised of 5 pages.

Page 1 - Introduction
This your first glipse of the font, where the student was asked to write a brief description about their font.

Page 2 - History/Usage
Each student had the choice of writing a couple of short paragraphs about the history of the font, and it's designer, or find 3 to 5 examples of their font being used in any printed material (magazines, packaging or other collateral) and write a sentence on where they found it and who is the intended target audience.

Page 3 - Character Set
This is where the student can showcase the fonts uniqueness by highlighting key characters, or attributes.

Page 4 - Family Variation
Where you can see all the different variations that particular font is designed in, meaning the light weight, medium, bold, extra bold, heavy, condensed and oblique styles when available.

Page 5 - Roughs
The students were shown earlier in the class how to develop quick alignment sketches for the layouts prior to beginning work on the computer. This is done to speed up the production process of producing their layouts.

Each student was provided with the basic site architecture, font, designers name and HTML documents. And was asked to design and create a mini 5 page font site. Everyone had to produce their own buttons, headers, and content graphics for there site as a means of learning to use the basic typographic prinicpals discussed in class.
