And now for something completely different

Everyone in class will be working on this assignment for the next 2 days.  No other work will be done until this assignment is completed (minimum work time- 2 full class periods).

Based on some of the comments from yesterday's assignment, we will be doing something new.  There are specific assignments that we have to do for this class (the "boring" ones) that can't be changed.  Other assignments can be more creative/fun, but we are still limited by what we can do by network blocks, etc.

Other things aren't blocked but require the installation of software on each computer, and that takes time and patience.  We will be getting to those assignments later in the class.

Fonts are a part of all of our lives.  Websites, books, magazines, street signs, written DMV driving tests, CAHSEE, street signs all use different fonts for displaying words and numbers.  For at least today and tomorrow you are going to be creating your own font (font examples- Arial, Courier, Times).

You will be going to this site.
You will sign up using the email account that you use for this class.
Use the same password as your email so you won't forget it.
You will be sent an email with a link to complete your free registration on the site.

You will then proceed to create your own unique font.

Name your font anything (school appropriate) that you want.

This will be at least a 2 day process.  At that time I will inform you as to how you will be turning this assignment in.

Be creative and take some time to create each letter.  Sloppily done, quickly thrown together with little thought fonts will receive grades closer to zero than 10.
