Scrabble

I know this isnt a type but i like the way theres little numbers are in the bottom right corner. Maybe i could play with having a little part in my type that could link, attach or unattatch or something. Possibly a jigsaw piece type effect, that the lower case fitted inside the uppercase? Or have the first letter of each word bigger than the ending of it? Maybe that would be to more playing with the sizeing rather than the type.

Jamie Reid

Jamie Reid is one of my all time favourite graphic designers, i love the DIY feel that he has in his work.

Reid was one of the first designers that began using the randsom note lettering.

Using different fonts gives the words an interesting look.

Using whole words and then indiviual letters creating the word is nice here.

I like the different sized letters that was used for  'Sex Pistols'. In comparison with the lettering above, it looks a bit messy.

Pro Two Task Two

This is one of the photos i took in Pro Two Task One i put it into indesign and created a grid over i then played around with layouts using the grid of the building.

These are a few of the layouts i was playing around with. Im having a bit of trouble trying to work out how everything fits together and trying to make it look right, but a bit more practice will help that I'm sure.

Wim Crouwel is my topic for Pro Two Task Two. I found this blog post about him which has some useful information :)

And here's some of the fonts that Crouwel created:

Pro Two Task One

These are the top 10 photos i took of buildings that had interesting grid systems on them

These next couple of photos are a bit strange and aren't buildings but they still have grid systems on them.

Pro One Task Three

So after having a bit of bother with getting software, I've finally finished the vectorised images! Yay. And I'm actually really pleased with them. Think some of them look really funky.

This is the alphabet created through found shapes.
