Assignment - June 2022: Make a Monogram & Business Card Design
Assignment — June 2022: Make a Monogram, Make a Business Card
In this optional assignment: Make a Monogram, Make a Business Card, from last month (June), there are two parts. In Part 1, I made three different versions of monograms using the initials of my first and last names, so I combined the letters I (Ismail) and H (Houman) to make these monograms without distorting the individual letterforms. In Part 2, I use these monograms as the basis to create three business card designs for myself. For my personal information, I added my (real) name, (fake) email address, and (fake) phone number.
This assignment is optional but recommended. It’s a chance to start to work with typography in a practical context. The best way to learn graphic design is by making graphic design! Take advantage of this opportunity to get feedback from your peers, and give your peers some feedback in return.
• Take a look at the student’s monograms. Do the monograms show a variation in typefaces? Do the letters of the monogram fit together in an inventive or interesting way? What is working or not working in the student’s monograms?
• Help your peer: Choose one monogram you feel strongly about. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what typographic moves the student could make to make the monogram work better aesthetically?
• Help your peer: Choose one card design you feel strongly about. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what typographic moves the student could make to make the card work better, typographically or compositionally?
