### <span class="s3">Doing (Tasks)</span>

**<span class="s1">Find 3 examples of texture be used in print ads found on Ads of the world [<span class="s5">https://www.adsoftheworld.com/</span>](https://www.adsoftheworld.com/). For each example:</span>**

- <span class="s3">Describe how you think the texture was applied (What tools and techniques were used?).</span>
- <span class="s1">Why do you think the texture was chosen (How does the texture relate to the message, what additional meaning does it convey)?</span>

**<span class="s1">Following one of the video tutorials, Create a texture or pattern and apply it to a typographic composition.</span>**

- <span class="s3">Use something from your environment as source material.</span>
- <span class="s3">The type can be anything you like. A word, a quote, a lyric, a question, a line from a movie.</span>
- <span class="s3">Experiment with the texture or pattern positioning (background, on top, blended into the composition). </span>

**<span class="s3">I’m missing one more activity that relates more to comprehension of the reading material.</span>**

### <span class="s3">Tutor and student interactions</span>

- <span class="s3">Group Discussion (Good sources of textures online, Teams channels) </span>
- <span class="s3">One on one Q&amp;A. (Make contact with each student) </span>
- <span class="s3">Group presentation and feedback. (learners present their findings/results from the examples they found) </span>
- <span class="s3">Software Demonstration. (Converting texture to bitmap for use in distressed type in InDesign)</span>
- <span class="s3">Presentation and discussion of typographic compositions.</span>
