Week 5: Type Designer Poster Project (Colored Thumbnails)

Below are my three colored thumbnails 

I used a simple blue/teal color pallet that gave an old but modern take with neutral brown colors. I made my background colors all a light brown color like when looking at an old page in a book written decades or centuries ago. (Baskerville was created in the 1750s!)


    For my 1st image, I reworked the positioning and hierarchy of the title and the year of the font's creation. I created contrast in the overlapped letter with slightly different colors but in the same family which is a bit more opaque than the title, subtitles, and year.  

    For my 2nd image, I didn't change much of the location of my hierarchy, but when using illustrator, I plan to mess around with either having the Title be inside the letter B or sitting on top like the side of the B is a line. 

    For my 3rd image, I created a more straightforward design as the Baskerville type is very clean and simple yet modern and old-styled. The title, year, and symbol make almost like a logo for the Baskerville brand using the Q as an example of the interesting parts of the font family. 



(Images 9, 13, and 22 on the previous post were my initial sketches)

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

Image
  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.
