Hunt, gather, and bring as much type and lettering as you can to our Aug. 26th class.
Find 2D type in any language, printed on any material so long as it's visible and you can recognize it. Letters, numbers, punctuation, it all counts.
You will wind up using these materials for multiple design projects at the start of the term, so save what you collect.
- Do not bring in any collectibles.
- Do not bring in anything with your name, address, or personal information printed on it.
Bring in small things, really small things, or large things. If it has type on it, bring it in.
