The process
Being ambitious, I began by eyeballing the W that i picked out
(from Garamond), which I was drawn to due to the fact that I
thought it was interesting how it looks like two ‘V’s overlapping
one another. I worked with charcoal, and started to observe the
details of typography that I haven’t noticed before -- the care and
consideration for each stroke and how they interact. Afterwards,
I put everything into illustrator and started laying out. Designing
the type poster introduced me to laying out text on a page, with
more attention paid to the sizes, margins, angles at which bodies
of text are placed, indents, outdents, rags and rivers, etc.
Thoughts on project
In general this project was an interesting introduction to the
course, and I thought that it was useful in warming me up for the
other projects, as it got me to consciously notice typography more.
