Student work
Limericks
The task challenges students to illustrate a limerick poem by using and composing only the prefabricated graphic elements provided to students in a font.
Students are given verses from The Book of Nonsense, the famous collection from 1846 by Edward Lear.
The method student manipulates the elements is limited to nine possibilities:
1. Scale
2. Rotation
3. Tile
4. Invert
5. Crop
6. Overlap
7. Flip/Mirror
8. Contrast
9. Text on path [if the elements are set in the font].
The project and the custom “dingbat” font file was developed in collaboration with co-instructor and artist Marek Brzozowski.
Material: Limerick poems, custom TT font, Illustrator.
