ASSIGNMENT THREE

ELEVEN-LETTER WORD

Step 1:
Find a word with at least eleven letters. Try to find one that interests you: an unusual word/definition.

Step 2:
You will then need to draw/design a typeface for this word. The typeface you design for this word should in some way reflect its meaning. You are not developing the entire typeface, just this word. You will need to figure out just how this word should be visually represented. What should the letterforms look like and how should they be inter-related in space. This type design must be hand drawn (do not use the computer for this).

Step 3:
To create the final design you will use the type design of the word and its definition to create the final design. You will scan in the type-word you designed and integrate it. At this point you may clean it up or leave it hand drawn depending on your design decisions. In producing your design consider how you are using definitions: do you use only the primary definition, do you use alternates, pronunciation, etymology, first usage, etc. Consider looking at different dictionaries (perhaps the OED).
