Ever since my parents bought The Beatles: Rock Band game a few months back, I’ve really been indulging myself in The Beatles’ music, movies, etc. Not only have they been dominating my whole iTunes library, but I noticed that they are even seeping into my schoolwork.
Examples: For one of my English assignments, we were asked to do a biography of any famous person we wanted, and I ended up doing it on John Lennon. For Journalism class, we have to start a kind of journalism blog and I decided to name mine, “Here Comes the Sun”. I incorporated their A Hard Day’s Night LP cover into a Photoshop collage I had to make in the beginning of the year.

I guess you could say this is my way of sharing my current obsession with the world.

Where am I going with this? Well, today my Media Arts/Communications Technology teacher introduced us to a new strand in our course: Typography Our task is to first pick a song we like and then choose a nice font that connects to our song of choice. Next, we have to use only the lyrics of that song to create a piece of typographic artwork in Adobe InDesign.

My plan is to choose a song by The Beatles. I haven’t decided on which one, but I’m leaning towards their long medley called Golden Slumbers, Carry that Weight, and The End so that I can include the really great line at the end of The End:

“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Some examples of what I mean by “typographic” artwork:
