No News is Good News Final Crit

Evaluation

Which personality traits did you choose to respond to and apply to the typeface?

deep, mysterious, humorous,    

What are the reasons behind the design decisions you have made from the typeface?


I wanted to create a type face for Mitch that had a distinctively illustrative quality to it, that also relates to his personality also. the cross-hatching of the letter a re to relate to my adjective of deep and mysterious but also to relate to that Mitch likes illustration. The attempted system of the bold aspects of the lettering was to literally show the deepness of the lettering but also coupled with one of my chosen adjectives.     

In what ways are the results effective?


Overall I felt the type face is legible and on the whole works as a sequence of images. although I think with further experimentation I could produce something that abides by the rules I wanted to create for my type face. the effectiveness of some letter shows though for some aspects of the work but would be more effective if it were applied throughout the entire piece.
