Type poster

I'm leaning towards the right poster, as my letter a has all the basic features of the set I designed. The left poster is a little too busy, and the abstract element on the back detracts from the characters themselves.

Understanding the letter shapes and experimenting with brush strokes.

Intervention=Interpretation tutorial

Notes:

- my letter s is too plain, need an extra element

- try thick and thin strokes for letter v or flip the letter n and develop it, consider serifs

- poster: pull the abstract element to the middle, twist it because now when it sits on a straight horizontal line its still readable and distractive; expand the characters (1/3 of the page)

Developing letter s 

I didn't like the look of the letter with the added thin lines, and my font started to look too intricate. So instead I curved the beak of the letter s, imitating the letter i.

Developing letter V 

After the criticism I received on my V shape, I experimented with combining different shapes with the previous design. Here I use an inverted n and play around with the most distinctive elements of the font.

This piece doesn't feel finished to me, and I don't know if it's due to the simplicity of the letter V or the fact that the background is missing something. I hope to get some advice on this in my upcoming tutorial.

With this poster I wanted to show how all the characters interact with each other. I placed them in a random order to reduce readability and make the viewer pay more attention to shapes and outlines. I then looked at the Helvetica Type Specimen Book to see how fonts are typically represented and to better understand what should be shown on my poster. After doing my research, I decided that the abstract bit in the middle didn't really show the shapes of the letters, and I wasn't celebrating my font enough. So I reduced the opacity of the fragment in the middle and added the glyphs themselves.

With the enlarged letters I wanted to show the main details and features of my typeface.
