Wednesday

once we all print our final poster we all find things wrong but i felt mine was all wrong alot of the spacing was wrong and the layout of quotes. i still like my poster however i would like to create another one bases on one of my previous ideas, i will correct what is wrong with my final poster and hopefully complete another one so they are able to go in my portfilo.
after speaking with malcon we decided we liked the ideas of the positive and negative words used in the design. icould aslo find more words to descride the font also i could find quotes of ask people what they think of helvetica. i now need to think about colour, layout, spacing, and where im going to put the other elements on the page i.e logo etc.
in the week i started to play around with my ideas of the computer i produce alot of layouts, changing parts that didnt look right, but i though they looked boring and easy. after speaking to james we decide i should find some words to descride my font and maybe use them in my poster. i made a list of words then did some rough thuminails use the words in the designs. i then produced a few of the rough ones on the computer to look over then with malcom in the next lesson. i am really enjoying this project i like producing ideas and piece of typography.
During the weekend i design some ideas for my poster using my marker pens and layout paper. i looked into the work of joesph muller brockman which helped me get some ideas for my design, i really enjoy using the marker oens however i find sometimes it takes up alot of time.

Friday

Today's lesson was with James we presented our research and thoughts to him about our ideas for our posters, we all got some feedback. I then went back to the computer and the library to research some designers James spoke about. I found one designer i really like the work of, this really helps me get started of some designs for the poster.


Joseph Muller Brockman








Today's lesson was with Oli we used our font we designed in fontsturct to make posters. I need my font and designed the poster around to name and what it meant.

I called the font Norm
I looked up the word and found many different meanings -

Norm (group), a certain subgroup of a group
Norm (sociology), social norms, expected patterns of behavior studied in sociology. statistical norm, actual patterns of behavior studied (evident) in sociology.

Today was the first day back into the second year of the course, this year counts the most. We were given our timetable for the semester, our module handbook and our brief for the first project. Each project is 4 weeks long in SP3 we were told what we had to do and what the final outcome was going to be. We spoke about our work placement, where we should be going and how to getting touch with different companies. We then read though the brief and highlighted any key facts. i really like the sound of this first project as i really enjoy doing typography work.I now need to go away and research more into the fonts we were given for the summer work and also start writing the interruption of the brief.
