The document provides instructions for students to complete an artist board project on an artist who bases their work on typography. It introduces several artist options for students to choose from, including Michael Craig-Martin, Evelin Kasikov, and Saul Bass. Students are asked to research the artist they select, include images of their work, facts about the artist, their own opinion, and optionally a transcription. They are also given questions to answer about why they chose the artist, information about them, what they like about the artist's style and use of materials, whether the work is used for a purpose, and how their ideas could influence the student's own graphic work.

2. You were:
• Introduced to the importance
of understanding and learning
about Typography as a
designer.
• Completing a Mood Board as
a reference source to look at
and refer to throughout this
project.

3. Select and start your
Artist Board, starting
with a transcription.
When you have completed
your transcription, you can
start to put together the
rest of your Artist Board

5. Your last task (Task 2), is to research
and create a PowerPoint
presentation on an Artist that bases
their work on Typography.
This will again count towards you
GCSE Graphics, as you get lots of
marks for looking at the work of
others.
Take a look at the next few slides,
and select an Artist that you like, or
you can choose you own if you want
to.

6. Michael Craig-Martin is one of the most
influential British Artists of recent decades.
He was a key figure for the YBA generation
of Artists, whom he taught in his capacity as
tutor at Goldsmiths College of Art. In his
recent series, Alphabet, he has produced 26
screen-prints in which the letters of the
alphabet are overlaid with everyday objects
such as a book, a glass of water or an
umbrella.
