Week 4: Early Letterform Project (Final/Reworked Designs)

My three reworked Designs:

1. Symbol:

    For this design, I tightened the kerning of the Heading as well as made my body text smaller but added a larger leading between the lines to make the text more readable. 




2. Heading: 
    
    For this remake, I changed the positioning of the text to create a stronger balance between the body text and Theta Symbols. By doing so I split up my text as well as added a second symbol. I used a triangular shape as well to create a clean and more readable body text. 









3.  Text

    For this revision's composition, I created a border that was not as competitive with my text. I also justified my body text and created more space but in a square-shaped body. One other thing I worked on was putting the symbols in the corners to help build off the border for the main text to stand out.

Week 9: Museum Exhibition Idea

Image
     For this first step of picking out an exhibition, I decided to focus on a musical museum because how it's another form of art. I choose the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with its Legends of Rock exhibit which focuses on some of the greatest performers/talents. I'll be promoting certain artists that could be encountered here and sharing the talent from the instruments and voices of various rock genre music.  Link to website: https://www.rockhall.com/legends-of-rock  Write up: "Legends of Rock Highlight artifacts from a range of hall of fame inductees, including the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Guns 'N Roses, The Supremes, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, and Others.  Rock and roll is as much about the spectacle, the visual, as it is the sonic—we remember Bowie’s character Ziggy Stardust as much as we do the lyrics to “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide,” Michael Jackson’s moonwalk as much as the bassline of “Billie Jean.” Conceived in tandem with the...

Week 3: Early Letterform, Sketches, and 100 Words

  Theta: (Uppercase : Θ  Lowercase: θ ) Theta is the 8th letter in the Greek alphabet and represents 9 in the numerical system. It was derived from the letter Teth in the Phoenician alphabet, which means wheel. Compared to the Roman Alphabet with 26 separate letters, Theta combines “T” and “H” to create a “Th” sounding symbol. Early forms of the Theta symbol were a cross inside a circle, a horizontal line across a circle, and a dot inside of a circle. Today, Theta is used as a science and math symbol as well as a symbol of death because the character looks similar to a skull.  Source: https://mythologian.net/theta-symbol-meaning-theta-letter-sign-greek-alphabet-science/   Sketches:

Week 8: Type Designer Poster Project (Final)

Image
        For my final poster, I didn't feel I needed to change my work extremely since I had spent a lot of time on my poster previously figuring out the balanced format as well as the correct opacity of colors. However, in this final draft, I focused on correcting a little more of my opacity and colors as well as messed with the font on the year and fixed any spelling errors and little details that are just refining what I have already worked on.
