Typography

For the first three weeks of GC&I this year we have been studying typography as a gentle introduction to the course (and when I say gentle I mean it's still a lot of work but it wasn't overly complicated).

We went through processes such as cutting Alpha (Aa) characters out of different materials - foil, cling film and cardboard - as well as drawing them. 

We also studied the shape of the mouth while saying the word "handgloves"....

... and illustrated 6 words from a provided list, using only lowercase futura font.

The final part of the three weeks led to producing a logotype in a similar manner to the 6 illustrated words for "Design in an Era of Disruption".
