Lesson 6:
Design Problem 2
Contrast and Composing
- Select a contrasting pair of letterforms. Choose letters that vary in their weight, geometry, and complexity.
- Working within a 10-x-10-inch square, combine the letterforms in dynamics compositions. Home in on letterform details to illuminate the unique anatomical and stylistic features of each. Use figure/ground relationships to contrast forms against each other as well as merge them together. Crop, combine, repeat, rotate, enlarge, and reduce the letterforms to create both separation and ambiguity.
- Choose three or more final designs that celebrate formal differences as well as distribute positive and negative space into fluid, balanced compositions.
