American Typewriter Typeface

In the making of my Typography 101 project, I came to fall in love with the American Typewriter typeface. To me, this typeface says, “Anything Typography.” Since it was the first way that people can type something. I especially like it bold. A very good font for a headline.

I Love Typography

Instead of giving us a book to read, my Typography teacher gave us a blog to read. It’s the “I Love Typography.” It is very interesting and thought I should allow you to read it too. It really breaks down this odd subject in a fun way. Go ahead and check it out!

Typography 101

My second project in Graphic Design 2 was Typography 101. The project was essentially have us learn a little about Typography and how to layout text. I had a hard time choosing a layout that I liked, since I wanted to do well on this project. Here is what I turned in.

Homage Poster 2/2

Here is the final product of my homage poster to Herbert Bayer. Ill let you figure out which of his works that I used from my previous post. I used the same colors from his paintings, but not all of them to simplify the poster. Herbert created a typeface in his time, so for my headline, I used his font. The computer didn’t have his the typeface so I had to make it the letters. The text I just copied from the Internet. The project was dune in Illustrator. I think it turned out well. I like it!

Homage Poster 1/2

My first assignment in my Graphic Design 2 class was to create a homage poster (any size) for a famous Graphic Designer. I looked at the list and choose Herbert Bayer. I mostly found paintings that he did and liked them, they where filled with colors of the rainbows. Which I have a liking for those colors and when there put together. Here are some of his works that I used for inspiration.

Introducing Second Semester

Now I am in my second semester at College of DuPage. I am taking Graphic Design 2, Typography, as well as a speech class. Here I will be talking about my Graphic Design 2 and my Typography class.

The End of Graphic Design 1

Now that is the end of my first semester in college. I will have to admit, it was a frustrating class, but I walk out with one project to finish, another to redo, and one for my portfolio.

Cinderella Poster

My final project in this class was to make a poster and design it after a style in Graphic Design History. I decided to make a poster for a Cinderella play. At the time, I had just finished a paper on Cinderella and had found the subject interesting. The era witch it was based off of was the Arts and Crafts Movement. My teacher had me design the poster with Cinderella just standing there so I did. My final product was not what I wanted at all. I had run out of time. I am currently sketching out and redoing the project for my satisfaction.
