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.
