Typography Project

Pre-Production

The pre-production process consisted of nothing more than searching google for quotes. To find quotes, I just googled quotes from certain historical figures and presidents. Some examples of people would be Leonardo da Vinci, Gandhi, George Washington, etc. When I was choosing quotes, I made sure it was a quote that I related to or agreed with.

Production

When I was creating the typographies in Illustrator, I learned that it's good to use two or three fonts. It's also good to put emphasis on the more important words by increasing the font size, making it bold, or using a font that stands out. I prefer making colored typographies because it's a lot less boring to look at. Colors can also be used to put emphasis on words. In one of my typographies, it says "...bad one." Since I wanted to give these words a negative connotation, I colored them red, because the color red is often associated with bad.

Final Production

I really like how my typographies turned out. I think the fonts, font sizes, positioning, and colors all work very well with each other. The only thing I don't like is the lack of graphics/borders. I added a simple border on my first typography and I put in a few simple graphics in another one but I feel like I should've used more.
