Brief 2.1: The Character of Characters (Optional)简报 2.1:字符的性格(选做)

Coursera ↗

In this optional assignment I'd like you to experiment with choosing typefaces and typesetting words so the typeface has a sympathetic relationship to what the word says.
在这个可选作业中,我希望你尝试选择字体和排版文字,使字体与文字所表达的内容产生共鸣的关系。

Choose four adjectives that could relate to your object from Week 1, or describe its character or attributes. Typeset the name of your object (e.g. "apple", "shoe", or "glasses" etc.) in a typeface that relates to (or represents) each of the adjectives (e.g. “plump”, “old”, “vintage” etc). For example, if I wanted my apple to look plump I might set the word "apple" in something round and heavy like Cooper Black. As well as the typeface itself, consider upper and lower case letters, bold or italic, and negative or positive letterspacing.
选择四个与你的第 1 周对象相关的形容词,或描述其特征或属性。以与(或代表)每个形容词(例如,“丰满”,“古老”,“复古”等)相关的字体排版你的对象名称(例如,“苹果”,“鞋子”,“眼镜”等)。例如,如果我想让我的苹果看起来丰满,我可能会用像 Cooper Black 这样的圆润而沉重的字体来排版“苹果”这个词。除了字体本身,还要考虑大写和小写字母、粗体或斜体,以及负或正的字母间距。

Some additional guidelines:   一些额外指南:

  • Make each word you typeset around the same size, about 8 inches in length, and place it in the middle of an 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 sheet of paper, oriented horizontally.
    将您输入的每个单词排版成相同大小,大约 8 英寸长,并将其放置在 8.5 x 11 英寸或 A4 纸张的中间,水平放置。
  • Work in black and white only.
    仅限黑白工作。
  • Work with existing typefaces, and do not manipulate the typeface.
    与现有字体合作,不要操纵字体。

In addition, to help your peers, please include the adjective you are trying to convey in small type at the bottom left of each image. Your type should speak for itself, but this word is a little hint to determine just how effective your message is getting across.
此外,为了帮助你的同行,请在每张图片的左下角用小字标注你想要传达的形容词。你的文字应该自说其话,但这个词是一个小小的提示,用以确定你的信息传达效果如何。

Bundle your 4 images into a single PDF document (4 pages) and upload.
将 4 张图片打包成一个 PDF 文档(4 页)并上传。

Please include a title for your assignment, and submit!
请为您的作业添加一个标题,并提交!
