Task 1 Vormater Challenge

For Task 1, we were given eight shapes to create a piece. With these shapes we were challenged to create our own unique design, within the limitations provided in the Rulebook. We were allowed to rotate, flip and duplicate the Elements. We had to use all the Elements. Scaling was allowed, but proportionally, so skewing or free transform. We could add, subtract, intersect and group elements as we see fit. The use of color is unrestricted; we could create our own color schemes. We were allowed to use gradients. The Elements may be filled, the use of strokes was allowed. We were allowed to use filters or effects.

Understanding letterforms The uppercase letter forms below suggest symmetry, but in fact it is not symmetrical. lt is easy to see the two different stroke weights of the Baskerville stroke form (below); more noteworthy is the fact that each bracket connecting the serif to the stem has a unique arc. Fig.1.1 Baskerville 'A' The uppercase letter forms may appear symmetrical, but a close examination shows that the width of the left slope is thinner than the right stroke. Both Baskerville (previous) and Univers (below) demonstrate the meticulous care a type designer takes to create letterforms that are both internally harmonious and individually expressive. Fig.1.2 Univers 'A' The complexity of each individual letterform is neatly demonstrated by examining the lowercase 'a' of two seemingly similar sans-serif

My favorite sketch is #5.  Based on the feedback given by Mr Max, #2 can be chosen to proceed to digitisation stage. Digitisation I started by sketching out the rough ideas for all the letters that need to be digitised. Fig. 2. 1 Letter Deconstruction Fig. 2. 2 Typeface Outcome While digitising the designs, I used the rectangles of equal size to check and ensure the s
