First Final Project For Typography I
Over the first five weeks of class, everyone in Typography I has been working on creating an original type-icon from two existing letters and/or numbers. I started by sketching type together in my sketch book. Over the first two weeks I generated over a hundred different combinations. From those I choose three to experiment on. Eventually I settled on a combination of J and R.
The goal of the final piece was to actually make two icons, one that looked optically correct large (11 inches +) and one that looked optically correct small (1 inch -). By correct I mean, identical despite the change in size. Professor Hugel has an amazing eye for detail, so in the end I made more then 30 adjustments to my forms, and probably about 15 hours of work just making those adjustments.
The critique was last week, and mine went very well. No one had anything negative to say, but professor Hagel found one small correction. I bet you can’t find it!
Yesterday I receive my grade for the project - an A+.
