Modular Type - Edges and Curves

What is the secret that makes a good logo a rememberable sign?

Looking at the harmony between edges and curves helped me to understand why logos harmonize so many times.

The Modular Type Workshop gave us a kit with different shapes which we had to use. For this task I thought about using some of those shapes and adding a detail in form as a red triangle to it.
Regarding to that the typeface that I would create would attract attention by using a light - dark - contrast, a shape - contrast (curves and edges) as well as a colour - non-colour -contrast (black, white in contrast to red).

I started with looking at different brands and their logos. I realized that they always include a combination from curves and edges which causes a smooth transition within the image.

I also look at some graphics which include a play between the colours as well as curves and edges.

Bansri Thakkar is a student who designed a poster which inspired me.

Then I started designing my own typeface. I wanted it to be simple, abstract and modern at the same time. I handcrafted all letters from the alphabet and photographed them. After that I designed a sheet using Photoshop to place them in the right order and create the final typeface.

Then I looked at my inspiration again and decided to design a poster.

I like my typeface because it harmonizes well together and it shows a contrast between edges and curves in each letter. Furthermore I like the detail of having a red triangle.

British Values - Individual Liberty

The country Britain not only stands against terrorism and discrimination but also fights against those issues to protect society. The Prevent Strategy was set up in 2006 by the government to stop people supporting terrorism or becoming terrorists. The strategy is subdivided in three major aspects which are challenging the ideology that stands for terrorism, protecting innocent people and supporting those sectors which have a risk of radicalization. To prevent that young adults or even children turn into terrorists the government developed the Equality Act in 2010 which tackles inequality and prevents discrimination against people with 'protected characteristics' inside public schools. Examples for 'protected characteristics' are the age, disability, sex or sexual orientation, the religion, etcetera. In fact of that the British Values are defined as "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with differe...

Process - Art Fund - Live Brief

This life project was different from the project we had worked on before. That is because the project brief is written by an existing company called Art Fund which wants us to create a campaign in their name that can drive sales of the student art pass amongst university students. Because of that we had to follow guidelines such as using their colour palette, font style and layout. The brief also gave us key insights in students lives as well as the key message which had to be express through our design to make the concept clear. I started with writing down the main aspects which the student art pass offers and what the company wants me to convey. Then I listed facts which needed to be considered for my campaign. My first idea was to design the student pass out of error windows which appear on the computer when an error happens. This idea was caused by the thought that students are mostly using computers and phones and are all of their free times onli...

Photo Sequence

The task was about teaching us how to create a story by using photos. The importance of that is to think about different aspects as we take them such as the composition, framing, light, location, shape/ form, texture/ line, colour, (a)symmetry, narrative, depth of field and the reveal. All in one it is necessary to know how to convey the story to the viewer so they would get affected by it. My story is about a girl which is bored and does not know what to do at first. After a while she has the idea to turn on some music so she could dance and jump on her bed. Suddenly she loses the control of her body and falls down to the floor. The story ends with her laying on the ground and not moving. The setting is a bedroom. In the picture is seen a bed, door, bedside table with a lamp on it, a music speaker and a picture in a frame hanging on the wall. I choose the room because it should look like an average room for a teenager. Furthermore should the room be clean so it w...
