1. Originality, Expression, and Communication of Ideas: USE OF TYPOGRAPHY in RADIAL DESIGN

Student demonstrates insufficient ability to create original artwork. Letters are simple and have little to no detail. Overall design does not make full use of the space and may not be evenly traced.

Student demonstrates limited ability to create original artwork. Letter design is simple with minimal detail. Overall design may not make full use of the space and/or be evenly traced.

Student demonstrates ability to create original artwork. The letter design used in each “wedge” of the wheel is unique, but may lack in detail and/or complexity. Overall design makes full use of the space.
