Project Two: Modular Typeface

For this project, one begins by drawing the core letters: A, D, H, G, N, O, R, S, and V. These letters would be executed in both, lowercase and uppercase formatting. To begin creating a modular typeface, one would choose a consistent design and employ it to each letter form. Employment of a grid is an excellent way to create a design. Therefore, this project began with a series of exercises involving grids, where one was to form the core letters with the items or formatting material that was provided at class stations. For instance, the paper clip could easily be manipulated into letter forms, but the crucial point is displaying a prominent design throughout the design. A way to accomplish this would be to consider line weight, stress, height, proportion, etc.  

Once having created multiple designs, one would choose a modular typeface to pursue. Through several class critiques, this design would be perfected and later developed for use on the computer. Once developed on the computer, one was required to create a FINAL poster and a GIF displaying its’ beautiful form.

Here are some of the initial sketches:
