Project 4- Typography

Type of card- Birthday

Sent to- My mother

From- Me

For this project I waned to be creative with type and make a unique design.  I wanted my design to be formal and professional but still fun and energetic. I want the front of the card to grab people's attention and have plenty of room for a personal message inside. 

bleeds...

I thought this design was very creative in the way that the artist designed the title to bleed from the top down. This makes the design interesting and gives it a lot of color. I like how the artist used dark colors in the background and light colors for the text.

Wood Type

I really liked the amount of detail in this design. I really enjoyed looking at the different type that was used as well as the different sizes. I thought it was interesting that you can see two different posters in two different colors side by side.

Type Slam

I really liked the layout of this design. I like the color that was used and also the layout that the designer chose to use. I think it is very clever to see that the "9" extends all the way down to the bottom of the page.

Swiss Poster

Helvetica

I liked these posters because they are very simple yet interesting. I really like the one on the right because of how the elements are placed. I also like how the "e" is the focal point and is blue.

Old Style

I like the old messy look to this poster. I think that this poster has a great layout and I love the fact that its black and white. I also like how the type is on the side of the design and it doesn't take away from the image.

Body Type

I liked the collage like feeling that this design has. I like how this design has a grid layout and is very organized. I also like the different images that each block has. Each block makes the design interesting.

WAVE

I really liked this work because of how the artwork works with the human. I like how you can still see the persons hands and feet along with the design. I also like how the art work is black and white and simple. The typeface and texture makes the design interesting and a focal point.

Do You

I really liked how the type was arranged in this poster. I like how some of the words overlap and add interest to the over all piece. I also liked the colors that the designer used. the colors are intense and grab your attention.

Pear

I thought this was a very cute image that has to do with type. I love how the type is wrapped around the pear to make it seem 3d. I also like how the text gets smaller as the pear gets smaller.

type........

I thought this image was out of control.... that's alot of type..... creative but it makes me hurt.

Project 1- Copywriting (Garamond)

Garamond-

Garamond typeface cam from the 16th century original. Like most members of very large families, they share traits. For example, character stroke-weight stress in every Garamond design is canted. The head serifs look like little banners, and baseline serifs tend to be long, slightly cupped and have soft, rounded ends.

About the Designer-

Claude Garamond started his career out as a apprentice for the Parisian punch-cutter and printer in 1510. During the 16th century Garamond and his peers found that the typography industry required multi-talented people. After a decade of success with his typefaces all over Europe, King Francois I of France demanded that Garmond produce a Greek typeface. In 1545 Garamond became his own publisher, featuring his own types including a new italic. As a publisher, Claude Garamond relied on his creativity and discipline to produce well crafted products. Garamond insisted on clarity in design, generous page margins and quality composition. Because of Garamond's designs his typefaces have historical power, and are likely to remain the day-to-day tools of professional typographers. Garamond's contribution to typography was vast, a true Renaissance man.

Type!

I really liked how the designer used all type to create a room. I enjoyed looking at this work and looking to see how the designer created the room. I thought this was a very unique and creative design. Very well done.

hand

I thought this was a clever way to incorporate text within artwork.  I like how the text acts as an art form and creates a shape.
