TYPE DESIGN

JUNIOR YEAR WORK

Instructor - Olga Methleskia, SVA

I was given the task of capturing natural texture from everyday life. Where contrast is evident and form is organic. Then meticulously study through a selection of fonts that could play the best role as the brush and to paint, or in this case typeset the best replication of the image. Defining its natural contrast in grayscale.

PARASOL

This project was to create a full type family and handcraft a typeface book to show the work.

 

The concept for my typeface design is based on the different sections of the rainforest. The book was designed to bring awareness to the rainforest and how precious it is.

I was inspired by Fernand Leger's series of paintings called Contrast of Forms. I crafted each letter differently with elements replicated from various paintings in the series. My aim was to create each letter where the structure was shared between elements and their base.
