Final crit

Today I pitched my final ideas and plans for the last crit of the project. Despite only having the vector typefaces to show feedback was generally positive. The main concern that was raised is perhaps I'm focusing too much on elaborate implementation in the final week and not enough on the actual type itself and the fact that thats the only element I'm marked on. I hadn't really thought about it like this up until now but I think tomorrows vinyl cutter session will be a breakthrough in the deconstruction of the typographic form, and essential part of my essay to get across in physical format. There is also maybe still the potential to stitch some bits but its unfortunate there isn't an automated CAD sewing machine at uni.

The colour gold was suggested to me as an accent, a feature that I can imagine working well with the current pallet but I'm very conscious of not creating too much visual distraction from the type and using colour sparingly.

D&AD  Typographic Notes: The Empowerment of Music     (Competition brief)  Find a genre, song or musical movement that best represents a cause and use typography to bring it to life.   Typography can express rhythm, culture, local aesthetics, traditions, humour, quirks, places and people - in any language. Utilise these benefits to highlight a cause of the present using the music of an artist, genre or festival that you feel is empowering (from any time period).   Create a typography-first campaign with both physical and digital elements to inspire your audience to discover more about the issue(s) and, where relevant, spark a call to action.

Though not a requirement, you may also consider the use of a variable font." - this section of the brief concerns me, does it mean that a Google Font HAS to be used? I must enquire on the e...

@36daysoftype introduction

I've prepared the following list as a means of reference for the research conducted on each day of 36 days of type starting on Monday. My intention is to produce characters that are at the beginning of the word they represent 'A is for Asemic writing' etc... We'll have to wait and see what happens when I get round to numbers, I haven't decided on this yet. My plan is to have an eclectic set of characters that would ideally derive from 36 different movements of art or typography or artists or pieces of research but I'm sure there will be a little overlap so we'll see what happens with that. My strategy is to spend only max 2 hours on each letter each day to allow time to produce other work for other projects but I have a feeling some days might get very immersive. List: A-Z Asemic or art’s and crafts movement   Byblos or bauhaus   Cursiva or cranbrook   Delta or dada Euro style or Eric Gill   Fraktur   Generative or Grotesque or Gutenburg  ...
