Group Locations

For our locations of our letters, our group has narrowed down our top location ideas to doorways, the entrance of the Campanile, a stairway, parking spaces, or an elevator. In class we will all bring our construction studies and location ideas, like the one I posted yesterday, and we will pick our final location as well as type face. I am excited to start constructing our final letters tomorrow!

I hope to post my final typography studies for the word “squeeze” soon. I am slowly becoming happier with the results, but the critique in class tomorrow should lead me further on the right path.

Squeeze Colors

After being sick, I am finally getting better and back on top of my designs. Last night I worked a lot on my fifteen compositions. It was interesting to see all of the designs in lecture and inspired me to really get my designs going. Today, I am happy with some of my designs and others I need to start over on. Of the three designs I chose, I think I will not use my third option, and instead choose a different original design. The critique I got for my squares led me in this direction as well. I think that I have a good start but still a long way to go before I am really happy with the final squares.
