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...

Evaluation - Storytelling

During the project "Storytelling" I learned the techniques of wood carving and printmaking and how to digitalize those prints. Before I started designing I looked at some artists to get a quick understanding what printmaking actually means. Regarding to that I could think of pictures which I could carve into wood blogs and that would express the books theme. Looking at my first prints I like the style of the tensing hands because they convey strength as well as tension and therefore they convey the detailed and well described characters that are a part of the book. This image combined with blood drops also broaches the issue of brutality. The other print that I developed shows a hand holding a head and a police tape covered with blood. This image relates to the strength and courage of the police man who wants to find the murder of a shot man as well as the power of gangs in American Ghettos who are killing innocent people. I think I used the techni...
