Study Task 1, Type Journal - OUGD404

TASK - Document, Organise and Evaluate and ongoing investigation into type and typography using the principles, practices and examples introduced during the studio workshops as a starting point. 

Screen printed type. I like the printed quality and the block font prints well:


Nice mix of fonts with an effective grid system. Hand printed quality as well as having an interesting mix on traditional and modern looking fonts:


Birthday card. Mix of type, serif and script which I don’t not think work in conjunction with one another:


I Like the hand painted style in Mother:


Interesting silicone type. Nice use of thick to thin lines:


Hand-painted style and over-flourished:


From the print festival. Nice use of block fonts and mix of point sizes and weights:

 

Horrible use of type as the kerning is too chaotic and spaced apart. They have tried to make all the type justified, but in doing so, have made the poster not readable and legible. It’s extremely hard to read, which will be off putting to people wanting to read and look at this poster:


I Like how they have tried to represent the old style lettering through the use of drop shadows and serif fonts. This is to represent the ‘vintage’ theme of the market itself which comes across well:
