Sketchbook Assignment: Identity Type

As we study expressive type in class, it's time to consider yourself as a design.
Create a drawing of your name that's designed using expressive type to illustrate a unique or interesting characteristic about you, (see example above and in slideshow below)

First, select an interesting characteristic like, "I'm a bookworm, I'm an identical twin, I traveled to China..."

Then, choose an interesting way to express this characteristic using typeface and expressive design. Create a few practice sketches first before you settle on a final design. Choose a pre-existing typeface, or create your very own!

Grading criteria:
1) The letters in your name must use at least 75% of the page, and touch two sides! Draw those letters large!
2) You must incorporate a symbol or image somehow into your design.
3) Your final text design must be clearly legible.
4) DO NOT include the "My name is _____ and I ______" in your entry like the examples. Make your design clear enough that we know what you're trying to say without you telling us!
5) Use whatever media you'd like: pencil, pen, marker, collage, etc.
6) Neatness and time investment count. Brainstorm ideas first, and then create a final design.

See the slideshow below for ideas!
