Modernist Poster Swipe

Essential Question: Using my knowledge of PS and AI can I recreate a modernist poster in style and appearance?

There are a few things you are going to have to accomplish in this class period. First CLICK HERE to search a wide variety of Modernist posters and their designers. Once you find one that you like the most, you are going to open it in photoshop or illustrator and re-create it with the information provided in this poster example below (Glencoe Crimson Tide, the address and phone #).
*BE CAREFUL: Make sure you choose a modernist poster. Some of them may be confusing and there are a few Post-Modernist in there.

AGAIN- Copy the poster in shape, layout, type family and design but make all of the information "Glencoe"









When you are done, you need to turn in a file named lastnameSwipe.(AI or PSD) to the the Modernist Swipe folder on the server.

You will be graded on HOW WELL YOU replicate the style of the poster you choose.

Have fun and good luck.

Type

We are starting to get into the world of modernism and to be successful in this era you need to have a solid grasp on the categories of type. The image below shows an example of the four categories with a little info on each of them.
You will need to turn in a .jpg to the server folder titled LastNameType.
• Create a new file (Make sure the units are set to inches and make it 10x10)
• You will type each category name TWICE, in the same category style. Type the name first and then change it to the font that you feel represents it by going to TYPE>FONT and then clicking on your choice (ex. Type the word Sans-Serif, twice, in a Sans-Serif font).
• You will also have to write the description that goes with each type family (Only need to write this once for each category)
*You are completing this assignment to show me that you understand what the differences between the categories are.
**Create this in Illustrator (**You can not SAVE as a .jpg.... you must FILE>EXPORT>EXPORT AS and then select .jpg)

Happy typing.
