Final...sad.

No, not final posting sillies... but yes, this is the final project for my Intro to Graphic Design class.

We had to create a cover and magazine spread for Print Magazine. There were a list of topics we had to choose from all relating to the history of graphic design. At first I wanted to do a caveman article, but the cover and spread was a disaster!! After going over it in class I hated everything about it and started over, topic and all.

I choose to do the evolution of typeface. I'm very happy with how everything turned out.
I based the cover on how people use to design typefaces. No computer, but on a grid and very specific guidelines to get precise measurements of the curves of the typeface.

I knew I wanted just a single letter on the cover to focus on and my teacher suggested to have a classic more traditional font morph into something more current. I chose a more ornate font to represent traditional and a boxy sharp and stylized font for the current. I wanted the current side to have Illustrator guidelines because that's what people would use now to make or alter a typeface.

The spread deviates from the cover but the teacher said it worked because of the blues. I wanted a spread to show off as many different typefaces as possible. So each word on there is a different typeface. And the article would talk about how typeface has evolved.
