Today was my final review for Digital Type Design, where we all brought 17 copies of a specimen of our type face and then collated them into a book that each of us could take home. Then we went through each person's typeface and got feedback from an outside critic on what went right (and wrong). Here's the type face that I developed in the class. Its called Shoestring:
All in all it was a pretty mellow end of the semester, and it means that I only have three more to go! Oh, except for that silly little thing called proposing your thesis. Right. Tonight my class hung a show in the Graphic Design Gallery of posters presenting each of our thesis proposals. On Wednesday night we'll have an opening reception thats open to just the 14 of us and all of the graphic design faculty, where we'll answer questions, get feedback, and shop for advisors for the coming year. Here's a sneak peek at my poster:
I can't believe you created a type face! It looks awesome.
Your font turned out AMAZING! I love it!!! And congratulations on your thesis proposal, it sounds like an intriguing and worthy topic to explore. I can't wait to learn your thoughts on the idea. The poster is beautiful, I hope I get to see it up close. ;o)
Great font! I say! Well done!
I liked the poster too, and reading about the adventures of Monique the buxom coed.
Your typeface turned out SWEET! You've got that mixture of rationality and whimsy that is so difficult to achieve in arch design. Can I use it to launch "Jeff Likes Fonts"?
