Alphabet Soup: Partner Typeface, Final Crit






   

For the final crit we rejoined our partner as well as others from our class. In studio four we each had to stand in front of the class including simon and Amber and present our final pieces and what made us design them in the way that we did.

We had to first introduce our partner , briefly describe their personality and then describe why we chose to do what we did. There was some certain questions i made sure to answer, such as, how does the typeface represent my partner, am i happy with the out come? and does the typeface work at different scales?

When designing my typeface at first i found it hard, as i was too focussed on trying to incorporate all aspects of Danielle's personality. When i stepped back and considered the work i came to the conclusion that it would be better to have a typeface involving just a small amount of her interests and it be well excited. I really like the typeface i have created. It is not my normal style of work, so i was exciting to be able to experiment and try new things.

Feed back from the crit was generally positive both simon and amber were pleased with the out come. Amber was impressed with the intricacy of the design and that the pattern was still visible from far away. They also like the inverted name badge. One thing that they told me was an area for improvement was the letter 'R' as it wasn't legible or clear enough.
