Exercises
Your instructor may assign one or more of the following problems. Don’t feel that you
must do all the problems; for the homeworks, you are only required to do those that are explicitly
assigned.
-
Create a personal logo or poster that includes geometric shapes, images, fonts and/or
colors. Here are a few examples.
-
Create a card for a holiday. Your card should include geometric shapes, images, fonts
and/or colors.
Create an invitation or notice for an event. It could be an invitation for a
birthday party, or a visually appealing sign up sheet for a department picnic, etc. Be creative!
Your solution should include geometric elements (e.g., an ellipse, rectangle, triangle, etc),
colors (other than black and white), and use at least one font. You can add images as desired.
If you need inspiration, here are some examples of student work from the past: Hall of Fame.
