Assignment #7 - Fonts



Some of you are still working on assignment #6 and that's fine.  Try to be finished up by this Friday, April 24th.


Assignment 7 - Fonts

For assignment #7, you are going to explore the fonts available to download.  You can simply do a Google search or try some of the site listed in the following blog - http://www.creativebloq.com/typography/download-free-fonts-resources-912696


I would like for you to find, download, and install at least one font for each of the following:

  • An ad for an amazing new sports car
  • An ad for a landscaping business on the coast of South Carolina
  • An poster for Waka Flocka's presidential campaign

Now a very simple layout for each of the above so I can see how you would use these fonts in your type layout.

Email these 3 layouts when you are finished.
