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 - Record Recode

Looking at the process and my outcomes from the project Record Recode I am happy with my work. I am the opinion that I designed a strong typeface that communicates my art term well. My peer review evidenced this also. The whole process helped me to understand that it is important to experiment first and do not focus on one single idea to be able designing a strong font style. I experimented a lot with different materials and techniques to come up with different ideas that response to De Stijl such as digital editing using Photoshop and Illustrator, collaging and painting. The peer feedback also showed that I designed a strong and big amount of experimentation which are based on research that is represented clearly. Furthermore I learned a lot about the art movement De Stijl and Bauhaus which has a big impact on the worlds art. I am fascinated and inspired how this art term arose because I think it is interesting that people with different professions such as architects, des...

Evaluation - Signs, Symbols & Semiotics

In the beginning my collective and I thought that the task to create a whole wayfinding system for North Greenwich in only one week is tough and really stressful. However, we started with the brief right away and managed to finish it before the deadline. On Monday we visited the North Greenwich Station and created a questionnaire to find more out about the already existing navigation signs. Referring to our trip it really helped us to get inspired for our final outcome. Furthermore it showed us that sometimes it is necessary to involve a wide range of people to create something that talks or response or even helps them. Working in my group was really fun and effective. Everybody focused on the brief and had different ideas on how to come up with a general system. I also think that it is important to learn working in groups because usually when you work as a designer you need to be able to cooperate and be a part of a group. I also enjoyed working with my two peers because I ...
