I: The Graphic Alphabet

Logistics:
Each person will randomly select 2 letters. (The class will collectively complete the alphabet. Numbers will be used as needed.)
You may trade letters, but let me know by the end of class so that I can keep track.

Requirements:
Use Photoshop.
For each letter (remember, you have 2!) you will need...
1. 1 composition in black & white. No shades of gray or color!
2. 1 composition done entirely in color, including the background. No white or black!
3. Use only text. No added symbols or images of any kind!
4. Don't use the letters to draw recognizable forms - hearts, smiley-faces, etc.
(You want to build off of the beauty/design of the letters themselves.)
5. Document size = 8" square.
6. Post all 4 final letter compositions.

Suggestions:
1. Do the black & white compositions first.
2. "Pull-out" your corners to see the entire page.
3. Create each addition as a separate layer for more flexibility.
4. Overlap, layer, go off the page.
5. Try hovering between recognizable and abstraction.
6. Don't settle for your first solution, give your imagination a chance.
7. Save your work often. Never work directly off a flash drive!
8. Try large letters, a mix of sizes, a mix of "thick and thins".
9. Consider the negative spaces in-between the letters.
