Typography class final - our teacher assigned each of us a word in which we had to come up with a five by five design showing off that word. The top one was the winner..the store was megaflicks, but as you can see...the space ***err*** kerning - redesigned the stores sign.
Here is the much more boring layout...

Typography Class - New project
We were to take the a font and draw it using just ink and paper, then we were to 3D the project out. Here is what I wrote about this particular project.
Boyz R Gross, is the appropriate name of the font I choose for this project. The font is childish and girlie; it's a font that can be used to exude a cartoon like, fun feel to any composition. The font maker, Nick Curtis, is a prominent graphic designer that has over thirty years experience working in the design industry and whose influences include the Haight Ashbury Art Nouveau revival of the 60s and Push Pin studios. After drawing the black and white layout of the text, I worked the design until I felt it gave justice to the original font.
When it came to the 3D version of my font, I wanted something that would live up to the fun nature of the design. I created an interactive model that would allow the design to be fun but also still express many design elements. The first row of blocks is based on line and shape. The black and white design on each side of the blocks gives you different feels for how line, and shape can change a design. The next row of blocks is based on color and pattern. Each side of the blocks on the second row show different color pallets expressed in various patterns. The colorful patterns show the way the font can stand out and blend in to different designs. The last row is based on texture, color and light. Each side of the bottom blocks has a different color glitter that shines and shows texture differently. This design is pulled together by its grid like appearance set on a black background to make the blocks pop out, as thought it were an artistic abacus.
