Type Table of Elements

The typefaces and font style are pretty self explanatory in this image to the right. The function of this design is pretty much just a self project that someone thought of that was a neat design to do. The quality is very well done with spacing and whatnot. I wasn't able to get to the library this week, but I found this on a Google image search (sorry.) I think what attracted me the most to this piece was mainly my nerdy side. I like science a lot as well as design, which if you think about it. There's a lot of conflict between the two.

Radical Design

I can't really find a company that I want to redesign a logo for, so I created a fake one that I thought it would be cool to do. I came up with the name Radical Designs. I know it may kind of sound stupid, but I think it's cools. This companies main focus on design would be that of typography use and maybe some other design mediums as well. But a good logo/wordmark can be used for years on end without it being redesign. The company main audience would pretty much be anyone looking for a logo or anything to that nature needing good typography design. There is really no age group necessarily at all.

Music Club

This picture came from the Print 2005 regional design annual November/December edition. This edition was split up by the states, and this one came from Illinois. This is a perfect example of using typography as a graphic design element. It interested me the most because of what we just learned about using emphasis. It uses all caps but they did it by using different point sizes of the caps well. I don't know what typeface it is, but it is a sans-serif for sure. I think it's function was used a product since I do believe it's for a CD cover.

Peppermints

This font is called ITC Santangeli. I would have to say that this font style is more of a script font but with a new age twist to it. This type of font would have to be used mainly for advertising/identity more than anything else. If you were to use it for display instead of text, the readability and legibility would greatly be compromised for any reader. I think why I found this piece so attractive is honestly because of the black and white photograph that I came across. The type itself is kind of a throwback to old time candy jars and what not of the 50's which makes it neater as well. I found this in the HOW February 2009 issue in the Parkland Library.

Type Design

I found this image of type being used as an design in Computer Arts April 2010 issue in the Parkland Library. This doesn't really have a classified typeface really because the designer took a pre-existing font and then used his creativity to make it look like it's more fluid moving throughout the design. I would classify it more as a serif type font than anything else. The function of the image is mainly for a self project that the designer did for him self mainly than for a client. Its spacing is really super tight along with the kerning of the type as well. I think what mainly attracted me to this piece was the use of the designers creativity as an throwback to designers who mainly used type as a medium to create their work.
