Project 4- Tete a Tete

Type & Image.

I strove to attach my emotions about the movie into a visual for the poster. I decided to use one image to create emphasis without overpowering the intensity of the screenplay excerpt. The large, white V stands in front of Evie’s face in order to draw more attention to text than image. I chose to highlight “Become transfixed and transfigured…” as it pertains directly to Evie’s facial expression. I created rhythm in the screenplay by varying the type style (bold, italic, regular). “For Vendetta” ties to the rest of the composition by its use of color, connecting to the highlighted text above. There is a sense of movement as the eye shifts from the directional paths of the text and the weight of the “V”. 

Columnar Grid.

For this assignment, I chose a three column grid in which to organize a a 4 page spread of “On Design Bullshit” by Michael Bierut and responses. The headline contrasts the font text because it acts more as an image. I worked to incorporate image with text in a way to balance the positive and negative space. This creates rhythm by the negative space around the edges of the text blocks. This also sets the images to define the margins of the page. I  created rhythm with the use of pullout text (large and bold contrasting to the small regular typeface).  

Project 5- Final

Letter Spacing.

For this project, I used the typeface, Stymie. and worked on letter spacing by hand. The typeface name and designer are hand spaced and traced. The spacing between letters is carefully considered, adjusting to serifs and the bold headline type of text. Each letter is spaced according to the letter spacing preceding. Below the traced text is a typed paragraph regarding the designer, Morris Fuller Benton.
