typography

For this simple exercise, my class played around with values and interacting type with shape.

A fun project we did in one of my typography classes was designing two posters based on a six word memoir we were to come up with. The first was meant to relate to us personally, while the second had looser requirements.

In my first typography class, we were each assigned a font to research and apply said research into informational posters. One aspect of the criteria included displaying the entirety of the font, both alphabetical and numerical.

One of our routine assignments in typography was being assigned a topic which we had to prepare a presentation for in front of the class, and another which we had to design educational posters for. As seen in some of my previous work, my designs followed a consistent yet differed pattern.

For this assignment in my typography class, we were tasked with creating a three-piece series of posters depicting type anatomy. I wanted mine to not only be cohesive but also conjoining, so I made the choice to illustrate the anatomy of a single word broken up into three separate parts. With our posters printed out and hung up side by side, I successfully achieved the effect I was going for.

Yet another well-rewarded challenge was our two projects using Adobe Animate. The first was to make animated portraits of ourselves using the type from our names, and the second was to collaborate on animating the entire alphabet. I quickly learned how difficult animating is, but I also learned a lot and enjoyed doing so.
