This is some small experiments of activities I did based on typography.Doing all these activities has been fun but at the same time interesting to find some new information on Typography

Craig Ward

Craig Ward is a British born Designer and Creative Director, currently based in New York. Occasional artist, sometime author and contributor to several industry journals, he is known primarily for his pioneering typographic works. Ward has worked for many brands and made may brand identity. But the work I want to talk about is his physical type. It revolves around the juxtaposition of clean, classic type with several organic or uncontrolled processes, one such as bacteria.

This body of work ward has created is about him and his interest in is seeing word as image, he is continually exploring new ways to create type and to bring words to life. Ward has many examples of him playing and exploring different process within his work. For example, his piece “you blow me away,” was an experiment conducted in collaboration with photographer Jason Tozer. He used 20 sheets of glass, which were screen printed and captured in various states of destruction by Tozer.

I really like this piece and other pieces like this because he is showing the physical motion of the words, which I think is amazing and a clever way to express the word in a different way. which I will be thinking about for this module and how i can incorporate that someway in my work as well.

To help keep out Instagram active and share a little of our design knowledge, we decided to do some short design lessons on things like typography, colour theory and design principles. This series is the set we did on type showing off different aspects of lettering and type anatomy. Tune into our Instagram for more. Check it out on our Behance here!

Leading: Space between line

Kerning: Space between individual letters (but you never Kern body text)

Tracking: The space between every single letter

The “counter” is the open space inside letters such as “Q”, “D” and “S”. Counters can be referred to as closed, as seen in the letter “O”, or open as seen in letters like “C”. Look us up on Behance for more on type theory.

It’s time for another lesson on typography! This time we are looking at “descenders”. A descender is the part of a letter that extends below the base of an average letter. They can be found on letters like “g” “y” and "j". Check out the full series on our Behance page!

Assignment- Type Anatomy

Type anatomy refers to the study of the individual parts that make up each letter in a typeface. Key elements include the stem (main vertical stroke), ascender (the part of a letter extending above the x-height), descender (the part extending below the baseline), and counter (the enclosed space within letters). Other features like serifs, terminals, and bars contribute to a letter's overall shape and style. Understanding type anatomy is essential for typeface design, as it influences legibility, readability, and visual harmony.

ASSIGNMENT 1 : Scavanger Hunt

Assignment Brief,

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing 1 when displayed. It's the unspoken language that shapes how we perceive and interpret text.

Through HANDYGLOVES, we learned about various anatomical terms of typography and explored different type classifications like serif, sans-serif, decorative fonts and script.
