A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

2. Assessment overview
Introduction
You are required to complete Assessment 3: Presentation, which includes
• A 500 word article on typography
• A visual diary of photographs of the letters T, Y, P and E that
are constructed by nature and/or man-made objects that
have been constructed without the intention of being type
• An eNewsletter design utilising the content that you have
created in the previous two parts.
Objective
Type can not only be created by the computer but it can also be created
through hand-drawing, painting and sculpture. For this assessment, we are
going to learn that type can even be constructed by nature and man-made
objects that have been constructed without the intention of being type. For
instance, we can see the letter O or the number zero when we see a solar
eclipse in the sky; we can see the letter ‘P’ when we look at a stair-hand rail
at a certain angle.

Answer
A Brief History of Typography1
During Pre-historic times, European and Indigenous cave dwellers painted
or carved on cave walls. Hieroglyphics (pictographs) followed, and then
calligraphy (the art of writing with a fountain pen or quill).
The time-consuming nature of writing gave way letter punches, stamps,
seals and other machines used to produce text efficiently and consistently.
The Gutenberg Bible, invented in Germany, used a style of lettering called
Black letter2

Depot, http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/10/the-history-of-typography-in-5-
minutes;
The Rise of Print
Roman script re-emerged during the Renaissance, drawing its inspiration
from Roman Times. Its thinner script, clearer, simpler lettering, more
harmonious or symmetrical shapes, and contrasting thick and thin strokes
and serifs (strokes on the ends of the letters) all made it easier to read.
The Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries saw the onset of slab serif
typefaces – variations of serif typefaces that were taller, wider or bolder
than their Roman counterparts, and therefore, more noticeable (all useful
in advertising).
Sans serifs, invented before the Twentieth Century, later rose in popularity.
Their characteristics - no serifs, even strokes and geometric shapes - made
them easier to read and suitable for headings and signage.
Who determines the design?
While text is useful for resolving a ‘design problem’ (i.e. enhancing readability,
gaining the reader’s attention), one could argue that design layout is also
important. So, is the designer, employee or member of the public responsible
for this set-up?
You can see an example of layout and typesetting in Gopinath’s account of
The Patriot3
, an Indian-based newspaper undergoing technological change
during the 1980’s. Originally, this broadsheet publication used lead-
based typesetting methods and eight-column layouts, which took on the
appearance of stepladders.
The Rise of Computers
The introduction of computers, phototypesetting and photo bromides
changed the layout from uneven to even column lengths; and the kind of type
used. Moreover, the employees (handling the equipment) were responsible
for this change – with no inputs from designers at all.
The increased use of computers in homes and business has meant more
fonts and typefaces available. Increased mobile phone (‘smart phone’) or
3 Gopinath, C Y (2016): Design or Get Undesigned, in Smashing Magazine, http://
www.smashingmagazne.com/2016/04/design-or-get-undesigned;
4. tablet (iPad) usage and content-heavy websites and blogs, called for thinner,
‘flat’ typefaces, enabling more content to fit onto smaller screens, and users
to read the text.
Meanwhile, the larger screens on desktop computers and digital TV have
allowed for more skeuomorphic images and higher definition fonts.
You could argue that modern technology is a ‘game changer’ in text design.
Measures in traditional media (grammage, length, width, thickness and
colour [CMYK values]) have given way to monitor size, resolution, pixel depth,
pixel shape and RGB (red, green and blue) values; and content priorities,
previously measured by size, type strength and width, are now measurable
by keywords, tags and search-engine optimization.
One may thus argue the need for more information, at a greater speed,
while still being ‘presentable’, has given rise to the need for computers;
all prompting changes in the means by which designers have tackled the
‘design problem’ itself.
While some might believe that the Internet has ‘killed’ print, David Carson
(type designer)4
likened the Internet’s competition with print to that between
photography and illustration. We still need print for environmental design,
to draw readers to the internet and the public still read newspapers and
magazines – so my answer to this is ‘not yet’.

By Colleen Sedgwick
Visual photo diary
For each of the following letters in the word ‘type’ (T, Y, P and E), take at least
two photos of the letter that have been constructed by nature or a man-
made object that does not have the intention of constructing type.
For each image, you are required to write 25 words on why and how you
selected these images and how this process could inform future industry
practice.
Note: you are not permitted to include letters that have been constructed
to be part of signage. Also, you are also not permitted to ‘alter’ nature in
order to create the type (e.g. you are not allowed to break a tree branch into
separate twigs and then position them together to create a letter).
NOTE: You will be able to integrate feedback from discussions and self-check
submission, for integration into Assessment 3 Part B.
Answer
These are some pictures that I took of some tiles in my bathroom. The
reason being is they happen to resemble the letters T-Y-P-E
.
The larger rectangle on top of two squares resembles a ‘T’ – you can see one
horizontal line on top of a vertical line.
The square is nested within two rectangles – turned on a 45 degree angle,
it resembles the letter ‘Y’
6. When these same shapes are at right angles, flipped and upright, they
resemble the letter ‘P’.
The same shapes used in the letter ‘T’ are also used for the letter ‘E’ when
turned at a 90 degree angle.
How could they inform future industry practice?
1. Firstly, they can be used for signage and way finding – especially
in places where a lot of tiles are used, like railway stations, pubs,
shopping malls and public amenities (toilets). They could add a lot
of interest and character to the place.
2. Secondly, they could prove useful for the study of Pareidolia – or
the understanding of how one perceives a particular pattern in a
stimulus where none actually exists in that stimulus5
. For instances,
if one sees animals when they are looking at clouds or they see the
‘man in the moon’ when looking at the moon. In this instance, I see
letterforms when looking at the tiles in my bathroom, because of the
way the tiles are arranged.

eNewsletter design
Required
• Design an eNewsletter utilising the information that you have produced
in the previous two parts.
• The article that you have written in part A will be the content of the
newsletter.
• The title of it will be ‘TYPE’, and the letters will be created out of the
selection of letters that you have photographed in part B.
• Start by sketching out ideas, and once you have experimented move to
using your choice of technology.
• We recommend InDesign to layout your work and manipulate typography
in this exercise.
• You will be assessed on how well you can integrate the title ‘TYPE’ with
the rest of the copy as well as the overall design.
For that reason, you are required to add other elements such as shape,
colour and photos where necessary.
• Dimensions: 600 pixels wide, 600 pixels height (minimum)
• Colour: RGB
• Resolution: 72-144dpi
• Format: JPEG
NOTE: You will be able to integrate feedback from discussions and self-
check submission, for integration into Assessment 3 Part C.
Answer
While the original colour of my type is a powder pink, I decided to convert
it all to black and white so it could be more easily incorporated into a
newspaper look.
Here are is a photomontage of the letterforms I have created from the tile
layout.
Properly refined, it would probably look like this:
However, I decided to keep the photographic image and, in keeping with
the ‘newspaper’ look, I used a newsprint filter so it would look like this:
8. And with a little colour, it might look like this:
But left alone (and with the letterforms together), it would look like this:
For the overall design, I have sketched out three styles, these can be seen
opposite to this text, and on the next page.
The following page has two styles I have designed using InDesign.

ENewsletter reflection
Required
Write a 200-word reflection on how your research and experimentation
informed your work in challenges 1-3, regarding choice of typography and
layout for a design.
Include critical analysis of how you used the fundamental elements and
principles of design.
NOTE: You will be able to integrate feedback from discussions and self-check
submission, for integration into Assessment 3, Part C.
Answer
Concerning experimentation, I saw how the layout of the tiles in my bathroom
resembled particular letters – a, x and g for Learning Activity 3 and t, y, p
and e for Progress Challenge 2. To get the pictures I needed, I had to focus
on the lines between the tiles, and angle my camera accordingly. Other
letterforms could be achieved through cutting out some parts in these
pictures, or flipping or rotating the pictures.
Other elements in my letterforms included colour (converted from pink to
greyscale), pattern (like splattered paint), texture (slightly bumpy) and shape
(geometric - squares and right angles).
While I knew about the general history of typography and letterforms6
,
what I did not know about were specific times in history, where there was a
relationshipbetweentechnologicalchangeanddesignchoices. Oneexample
was the use of sans-serif type with ‘flat’ design for computer and mobile
phone interfaces7
. Another is the onset of computers and phototypesetting,

and its effect on print design8
.
I have also learned that not only is there a correlation between type and
layout design and technological change, print still exists as long as we read
newspapers, flyers signs and packages.
