Type Specimen Book

Creating a book to display one typeface allowed me to really understand the form and variety of type. In just one, there were so many style options that could be used for a number of purposes. I learned to use a modular grid to bring uniformity to my book.

Design Culture Now poster

This was my first poster project, designed to teach us about hierarchy of text and use of typography in communication. I learned how to work with negative space and text to create something informative and visually appealing. It was especially challenging to find just the right way to place different groups of text within the space.

Prototype

For this project, we were required to create a new typeface by filling in squares of a 9x9 grid. The type had to appear uniform, as if you could apply the style to any letter of the alphabet. As the first typography project assigned, I found it intersting to explore even such limited typographic possibilites.
