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...

FMP Proposal

The Final Mayor project is an eight weeks long project on a topic which I have to decide. To begin the project I need to write a proposal explaining the concept and aim of the project i am planing on doing. It can be anything such as advertising or graphic campaigns. Starting with a huge brain storming that shows themes I am interested in and ideas. I Split the mind map in four different topics, diabetes, social problems during different centuries, the danger of nightlife and globalisation. To think of more details and write down more ideas about each topic I also did mind maps on each single theme. While doing those I payed attention to think of questions that interests me and on which I could focus doing the project. My peer members helped me to sort out ideas which were not that important, focus and improve those which I could develop in my further process. Starting with initial ideas I formed proper questions out of them for which I could collect research. Not...

Evaluation - Art Fund - Live Project

Starting the process I researched various graphic campaigns to get an idea of what I could design. The library helped me to find great advertisements and different designs. Regarding to that I realised that research should always be the first step before starting to design my own graphics because even though I did not know what to create I got inspired by other designer and were able to pitch my strongest ideas. The pitch helped me to decide what idea I want to focus on and how I could develop it. My peer members shared their thoughts and gave suggestions which helped me to get a better understanding of my outcome. I also learned that it is important to be confident in what I represent so I am able to convince my audience (in this case collectives) from my idea. Because we always practice sharing our designs and ideas in front of others I am now confident talking about my designs. It is easier for me to take critics and transfer them into my work than in the beginning of this ...
