This assignment is designed to develop your acuity to “seeing” your surroundings through a typographic form filter. The success of this assignment lies in your willingness to walk around and observe structures, objects and the spaces that lie between them in a way that could be viewed as a “letterform.”
Your assignment is to “Seek & Find” 12 of the possible 26 letterforms in the alphabet. Each letterform image must be captured using a camera and uploaded to your blog.
It is suggested that you use the highest resolution setting your camera is capable of capturing to obtain the best possible image. Consider a time when the lighting is strong. Also, a very steady shot insures clear focus, so it might be a good opportunity to learn how to use your camera’s timer and a tripod if necessary.
The creativity, composition and quality of your photo will be part of the evaluation criteria. You are also not restricted to shooting only outside, indoors can also offer opportunities in spaces such as cabinets, doorways, object shapes etc.
Requirements:
A camera from which you can extract images to upload to your blog is required. A cell phone camera is NOT adequate for the assignment.
Film cameras and disposable cameras are alternatives, but you are required to scan the photos before submitting them. Many of OSU’s public computer labs have scanners.
See http://lt.osu.edu/labs/ for info.
If you do not have access to a camera, the I can sign a permission slip so that you can obtain a camera from Classroom Support.
See http://lt.osu.edu/equipment/for more information.
Due:
