Create a design using manipulated type (e.g., rotated, circled, extended) for a publication.

Creation should include

  • identifying applications that allow the manipulation of type
  • identifying differences among rotated, circled, extended, and other manipulated type
  • creating a finished product that uses manipulated type.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • When creating manipulated text, why is it important to change it to outlines before importing it to a page-layout program?
  • What effects can be created with various kinds of manipulated type? In what situations would these manipulations be used?
  • How does type manipulation affect readability?
  • What issues could arise if manipulated fonts are not converted to curves before being moved to another application or computer?
