Barcelona Typography

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:45:38 +0000

For this project I have created eight leaflets. Each showcasing my eight typefaces which have been inspired by the city of Barcelona. My main typeface and template which relate the typefaces together was inspired by the grid structure of the city. The remaining typefaces have been inspired from photographs I had taken on my trip.

The Naked Civil Servant

This is my poster for the play The Naked Civil Servant.

My thought process for this piece was to use the idea of lipsticks in the form of domino’s. This was to represent the main characters struggle with his homosexual during the 1930’s. The idea was that each time he would use the lipstick, it would have a cascading negative effect.

This is my poster design for the play Under Milk Wood. The spirograph like typography is to show the dreams in the play as well as the link between the characters.

Talking Heads Poster

This is my poster for the play Talking Heads by Alan Bennett.

I have solely used a typographical approach for this piece. This was to convey the heavy dialogue which is throughout the play. I have also used the quotation marks to suggest to the viewer that it contains monologues.

Debbie Cable Photography

This is an identity I created for the photographer Debbie Cable. Debbie wanted something that was clean, yet still showed a reference to photography.

As well as the identity, I have designed business cards and a website.

The website address is http://www.debbiecable.co.uk

Film Typography

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 22:46:23 +0000

A typographical treatment for the Ezekiel 25:17 scene from the film Pulp Fiction.

My book format was a concertina formed from a sheet of A1. This was to make it feel as though the book never ended because once you got to the end you could flip the book and start over. This was to highlight that Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Jules, always said this dialogue to countless numbers of people.

For the character Brett, I letterpressed his dialogue on to tracing paper. This was to show that is character was transparent and the viewer could see that he had done wrong. The letterpressed characters were printed unevenly and not fully coated. This was to show Brett’s fear.

I wanted to create a perspective feel to the piece. This was to show the positioning of Jules, Brett and the viewer (camera). So Brett’s lines were printed back to front but since they were on tracing paper, you can easily turn the page and read them. Jules’ lines were printed large with an angle to them. This was to show Jules’ power in the scene as well as to show he was standing the whole time.

The techniques I have employed for this piece include screenprinting, letterpress printing, custom type and binding.

Facts of the Human Body

A book I created as part of a University project on the human body.

The technique I employed for this piece was book binding.

Body Jacob’s Ladder

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 23:46:53 +0000

I created this piece to meet a brief at University all to do with the human body. I developed a ’skin’ and ‘bone’ typeface. I wanted a way where the typeface would turn from one to the other. I came up with the idea of creating a Jacob’s Ladder. This is a device that can tilt from one side to the other while still staying together. I made it out of wood, this was to get a clattering which would represent bones hitting off one another.

The techniques I have employed for this piece include screenprinting and wood work.
