SHOULDN'T SEND OFF THESE ILLUSTRATOR FILES TO COMMERCIAL PRINTERS AS THEY COULD EDIT FINAL PIECE. 

THE 2 MAIN TYPE OF FILES TO USE/BE AWARE OF

PDF - 'Portable Document File'. It is flat and is designed to be unedited e.g. poster for leeds. You can lock the file down and flatten the image.

EPS - 'Encapsulated Postscrip File'.  Another main industry file when sending to commercial printing. Imbeds all the fonts, flattens the image and locks it. 

Alphabet Soup (part 2) - designing a typeface

We were put in pairs and had to interview my partner on his interests and characteristis. This information I then used to design a typeface. My partner was Alex Slippens and from the interview I conducted that he was;

• outgoing
• quirky
• bold
• liked lower case type
• that his superpower was that he wanted to fly, and he liked speed
• friendly

Below are worksheets of experimenting with different of developing a typeface.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS

The next exercise was to condense a X-Factor newspaper article into 140 characters


'Katie reads everything written to make amends after leaking saucy story of rival Matt. "I can make improvements on what people don't like"

A similar exercise where we had to condense a longer paper article on Roonie down to 160 characters in a text to a friend
