Grids and LetterformsHalf of today's class was spent drawing (by hand of course) a (I'm guessing) 72pt New Baskerville letter (either E or S) and turning into double its size. Not easy to make it look right. The trick is to break the letter up into a grid and draw it piece by piece. The second half of class was spent deconstructing a magazine page and turning it into a thumbnail in order to see the underlying grid. I've been skipping out on software bootcamp this week, because it was a program I know (Photoshop), but today they're teaching After Effects, so I'm heading back in to get a taste of that.
