1. DO NOW:On the next page in your Manual please title it “Typography” and copy the following definition at the top of the page: TYPOGRAPHY: The art, craft, or process of composing type and printing from it. Raise your hand when you are done and you may get your computer and login and wait quietly for the demonstration. You will only get your computer when you are quiet.

2. AGENDA DEMONSTRATION and Note taking: • TYPOGRAPHY • FONTS • TRACE TOOL • LAYERS • PRACTICE

3. INSPIRATION • Our next mini project will be using Typography and fonts to create a piece of artwork. Here are some examples and inspiration.

6. Layer Tool • This tool allows you to work on overlapping items without accidentally moving things. • You can lock layers and unlock them by clicking on the lock icon on each layer. • The Layers box is under the WINDOW tab.

7. Text Tool • Looks like a T and appears on the left tool box (3 tools from the top on the right side) • Click and drag this on the page and you can create type. • To enlarge the type drag the T tool to select the text and then go to the top bar where is says character. You will see a number. • The number is size of the type. Change it to size you want.

8. Pen Tool • This sits next to the Type Tool. You can trace text and objects with this. • To make text art (typography) you need to trace the letters to make them objects. • In your layers box use the type tool to put in your initials. • Lock that layer so it won’t move.

9. Tracing • Create a new layer to trace the letters. • With your magnification tool zoom in as close to the letters as possible. • Click on the pen tool and select a stroke that is pink and a fill that has no color (a slash through it) • Begin tracing the letters. • Make sure the first point and the last connect.
