Type Specimen

This assignment was a challenge. We were given a list of 30 typeface types and info. I was told to choose 8 of those typefaces and create a poster about them. 


I wanted my poster to be unique and so I did a lot of research, and many sketches before deciding on a battle plan I wanted to pursue. Above is a few.























Above is my design I decided on for each individual typeface. Since each type had to be the same as much as possible, I ran into a few problems.



I played around with placement for awhile. Above you can see some of my earlier attempts. None of them were really flowing for me. I was frustrated by the time critique day came around. I was open to suggestions. To my surprise my professor was really impressed with what I had come up. We talked about the potential it had for a long time.


I changed the flow of my poster altogether and found that the results were more to my liking. Above is my first attempt.


Above is my final design. I was very happy with it. One of my best in this class.
