For this assignment, you will be creating an object out of text. Please pick an object or animal -- do not chose a human or face. Set up a document at 8x10 or 10x8 inches at 300ppi.
You should use a font that is non-decorative and you will be using the SAME FONT for the entire assignment. You may rotate, resize, or flip (Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal/Vertical), but you may not alter the characters in any way. Do not warp, skew, squish, stretch, or change the design of the font.
I would suggest making a contour of the animal/object on a separate layer before you start. This will help you identify the important parts of the structure of your animal/object. Contour lines go around the structure/form of the object/animal. Contouring involves using only line -- no shading. Thing about how the animal/object is built -- what supports it? What does the animal look like structurally? Without the structure of the animal, the contour will look flat, boxy, and heavy.
Photoshop Tips:
- If you double click on the "T" preview of every layer in your layers palette, Photoshop will highlight that text layer.
- While on your move tool, if you hold down your option key, click down, and drag the mouse, Photoshop will copy that layer.
