MODULAR TYPE

Playing around with the chosen design layout. I forgot to say that we were working in a group and each had to design a modernist poster for Germany- we came up with a colour scheme and format and they looked great as a series.

My final design is just on my pen drive for some reason so I will upload that when I can get to my usb pen!

These are my actual modernist poster designs! Again, these are just a few examples of what I was playing around with. I was working a lot with a strong grid and negative space, trying to keep it simple but bold. It was a lot harder to focus on typography when we could start being in other elements.

Modernist typography poster. I started off this project in the wrong mind set. During the time period we studied (1920-1960 Germany) designs began to create Dada designs like these. These did not have the modern principles which the brief was asking for...so....I started again (which is always fun). I thought I should stick these up anyway...I don't really like them but still good to show.

This is the final chosen design. I played around with font, sizing, spacing and positioning before deciding on this as my final piece to take to the studio for critique.

These are a few of my layout options for a project in which we had to design a poster advertising a lecture by a chosen typographical designer, taking inspiration from their work. There were a lot more layout designs that I came up with but I kept it to the minimum as to not bore you. We had to include a strong grid system and it would only be black type on a white background and also a square format.

For this quote I had to develop my own typeface using a letterform which I had found in Shoreditch. I had to come up with a set of rules and a grid to form each letter. It took a bit of work and alterations with particular letterforms but I think I got there ok! Im not a very typographical person, I prefer using typography within images so I think I made a good go ok it?

This was done a while ago but I've only just found the time to upload everything I've worked on so far this year. These 2 sets of alphabets were existing type/found objects or shapes which I found and documented in Shoreditch London.
