My initial assessment for this unit was to design a typeface around the theme 'games.' As such, I produced a font to be used in board games.
The concept around the typeface is that sentences can be written out and placed over each other, filling the horizontal gaps. This would make the text completely unreadable. Using a reader card (a piece of plastic with horizonal lines printed onto it), users would be able to make the text legible again.
This assignment got a high distinction, and the concept was noted as being entirely original and new.
My second assessment for this unit was to create a zine on any subject related to typography. The limitations of this zine were that only three colours could be used, and that only lettering and basic shapes could make up the images.
I made a zine that covered the history of the Impact font, from its initial creation to overuse by the internet in the early 2000s. This zine was received well by tutors and peers, and this task remains one of the most enjoyable assignments I have completed under my degree.
