Typography Designs


Pre-Production

     This week, we created typography quotes, first in black and white, then in color. We started by choosing 10 quotes, and then choosing 4 from those. Next, I went to dafont.com and hose fonts that I liked. I chose some calligraphy fonts, and some simple fonts to go with them. Next, I started to create them in Illustrator.

Production

     In Illustrator, I started by typing out my quote and laying it out the way I wanted. Then, I played with the fonts, and found ones that I liked. Next, I created small graphics if needed, and added more detail and design to each one. For the colored quotes, I took out one of my ideas to use a different quote. For the rest of them, I picked a main color and then added other colors based on the one I had. I also had to create mountains for one off my quotes, so I created some simple mountains.

Final Product

     My final products can be seen in this blog post. I think that the "adventure is out there" quote with the mountains is my best one because it was the most creative of all of them. If I could do this again, I would create more graphics. Overall, I think that my designs turned out pretty good. I enjoyed doing this project because we had creative freedom to do what we wanted with the quotes, designs, graphics, and colors.
