Working efficiently, create 25 more exercises exploring type placement along different axial systems. Within these new compositions, freely mix and use the previous text styling requirements (from the in class exercises) as you wish. Create five each of the following examples of axial alignment. Your axis lines are for orientation only, do not include them in the compositions. Draw your axis lines and put them on a separate locked layer for reference. **When creating these, keep in mind your designer. How can their process influence the way that you work? Can you lay out the type in a way that conceptually relates to your designer?
1. Single axis: use one imaginary line as your axis, align text extending in both directions
2. Angled axis: use one vertical and one angled axis as alignment guides.
3. Multiple vertical axes: use more than 2 axes
4. Crossed axis: cross two axis lines at 90 degrees, angle and placement of lines are up to you
5. Free axis: Pick your own axis and orientation to use as an alignment guide.
Create a PDF of your InDesign exercises and put in my drop box before next class. Post your top 5 to your blog.
