#mygtsprep – Mini Assignment 3: The Word

Q: What do these four images have in common?

A: They all have the word “the” in them. Did you spot that?

Mini assignment 3: The word

As your third mini in preparation for the 2015 Global Talent Search, your mission today is to photograph the word “the” wherever you see it.

How many “the” words can you find in the course of your day? Look high and low. In addition to finding existing text, you can make a word “the” out of pebbles, or draw it in sand for example. You can hand write or paint the word. Anything goes here. The point is to find a variety of typographic treatments in all kinds of places. You’ll understand better why this is valuable when you get the first Global Talent Search assignment, but for now, go forth and obsess the word “the”!

Then, share what you find or draw on social media, including the hashtags #mygtsprep #theword. To make sure I see it, please include the following:

• If sharing on Twitter #mygtsprep #theword @artthatsells
• If sharing on Facebook #mygtsprep #theword @makeartthatsells
• If sharing on Instagram #mygtsprep #theword @lillarogers

Have fun!
