Given the task of creating a modular display typeface, I thought of ways in which I could go the opposite of current trends. Observing that one prominent trends was angular modifications to geometric sans serif fonts, I figured that the opposite would be something circular or organic. From this thinking stemmed Olive Display; a friendly, sophisticated modular typeface.

This poster was done for Advanced Typography with Peter Cocking. We had to take the contents printed on food packaging and make a poster with the name of the product, the nutritional information and the promotional copy. I chose "Annie's Homegrown Shells & White Cheddar" and stuck to the colour palate of the packaging which is yellow and purple.

Type Weave
images
description
Typography is like fabric. It is the weaving in and out of various typefaces, weight, and spacing, to essentially form aesthetically pleasing and legible content, let it be display or body texts.
"Type Weave" is a self-directed project, which uses a metaphorical approach to help us understand the characteristics of some common typefaces. A type of fabric is juxtaposed with a typeface based on similar characteristics and attitude.

Type Specimen Book
This third year assignment was about understanding the history of type design. The ten page saddle stapled booklet features three significant typefaces from different historical periods. Each spread in the booklet uses the typographic style of the period that the historical font originated in.The book states historical information about the typeface, and each spread presents the typeface in a historically appropriate manner that reflects how the type would have been used when it was first designed. The typefaces presented in my book includes Caslon, Didot, and Futura.
Deliverables: 1, 10 page saddle stapled booklet.

Fonts are known to have distinct attributes and personalities to designers. It is even sometimes talked about like people, and very much in relation to the context in which a typeface is designed and thrived in.
