2 Become 1


Task 1

Select 4 exercises to create from this list of opposites: Regular/Italic Letter/Number Serif/Sans Serif Uppercase/Lowercase Black/White Letter/Punctuation Choose a few typefaces to work through the task with. Start with an A4 page and fill it with your opposites combinations. The aim is to bring your two opposites characters together to create interesting shapes. Try at least 4 four different shapes per opposite pair. Arrange them neatly on the page. Rules: The two characters must touch. They can be rotated but not stretched. Stick to a point size of approximately 120pt-130pt.

Task 2

Pick two letters or numbers or a mix. Create nine 7cm-7cm compositions where you can combine the two characters in a dynamic way within the square. Explore scale, repetition and rotation within the composition but do not stretch/squish or distort the original type form. Each design should employ two unique typefaces and be made of single vector form. If you know how to use the pathfinder tool to cut the overlapping shapes out, then please do this, otherwise just overlap in black and white.
