Your Assigment this week- Type Book, NY Times Markup and Dept. Templates

This week you are to be working on your type specimen book. Work on your type and get creative. Don't be afraid! A Tip: If you are having problems, pick a story and set that.

NEW FOR THIS WEEK: you are to mark up a section of the NY Times and see all the different types of fonts they use to create order and guide the viewer.

See the example below so you see what i mean. You should select a section for the Times.
THE EXAMPLE IS COMING SOON.

You should also be working on your department grid layout.
Am e-mailing all of you an example of that!

IF YOU HAVE NOT E-MAILED ME YOUR BLOG ADDRESS, PLEASE DO SO ASAP!!!!!
