Once this project was assigned, I went on google and began looking at different typefaces. This one website was especially helpful. It showed all this classic fonts and then some new ones. This helped me get thinking about my own. Here's the website. Check it out!

Process

When it came time to create a typeface, I thought back to when I used to use this funny way of writing to just scribble notes when I was bored. I decided it would be fun to make that into a typeface. It's extra sloppy and scratchy so I call it chicken scratch. Here it is.

This week for form we also we designing a poster. I was online looking at different types of posters and I came across this one web site about posters based on design. I really enjoyed looking at them so hope you take a look. http://designwashere.com/50-excellent-posters-about-design/

Process

For my companion book poster I decided to base it off my book when it came to the different colored squares. I wanted the text to be more simple so I just used an axial system. Here's what I ended up with.

As always, my granddad likes to email me links on new interesting things he comes across including artists. Robert Duncan is a painter who's paintings are so realistic it's shocking. Thought I'd share!

Letter P

For the letter project I had P. Because I have to fit myself into the stem I made it a little bit wider than normal. It took a while to make but when I was finished it was so fun walking around inside!

Poster Process

For the grid poster I chose the band Creed. I decided to use one of the pictures I took over spring break. The way the trees stood out against the light interested me. To create a feel more directed toward the band's music I made the image black and white and changed the levels. Here's what I ended up with.
