Part 7: Watch Me Create

Here’s where you get the chance to watch what I did for the Part 7 project, including the story behind my personal photo. No fair peeking, though, until you’ve done the project yourself!

Remember, there are many ways to create a great project, so don’t feel like yours has to be exactly like mine.

Video 07-11: Part 7: Watch Me Create (12:33)

Welcome to Part 7, Watch Me Create. I'm Linda Sattgast, and I decided to use this photo of me on my way up Dog Mountain. I want to tell the story about how difficult the hike was for me, but that it was rewarding in the end. Because this project is focused on type, I'm going to do something I don't usually do, and that is to start with the type. I'm not sure where this will end up. So I've opened a neutral paper and I'm just going to start right in creating the title.

Here, I'm going to just copy some type, some journaling that I had done earlier so that we don't have to sit here while I think through it, the whole thing

Now here, I'm rotating the type. And I don't usually do that, but I want this to look like I've written on this photo by hand. And if I did that, it would definitely be slightly rotated. So that's why I rotated this type.

And there is my finish type project.
