We were given the task to find different typefaces within the City Center, looking at retail shops, restaurants etc. As a group, we were given four different typefaces and these were Transitional, Humanist, Old Face and Script, at the beginning we did struggle finding one specific typeface which was old face because we found that it was quite similar to Old Face.
After walking around in the City Center, we did manage to find many different typefaces but in particular relating the four we were given, some of the shops we found that had these typefaces were Victoria’s Secret, Debenhams, Dior, Stradivarius etc, there was a lot linking to a specific typeface.
So when we made our way back to the University, we were then given the next task, this was to create a desktop picture using the typefaces we found in the City Center, I had to draw different letters using different types of typefaces, once they were cut out, we placed them onto a plain white wall, once we started placing them onto the wall, I kept on reflecting on how it looked as a whole and if it needed a particular colour or a different letter to tie it in together and make it flow and work as a whole piece.
So as I was saying previously, we all kept on reflecting back and criticizing what was needed to make it look more complete, we all agreed on more lettering, more variety of colour and sizing of font.
This was the final outcome, from this task I was able to identity the difference between different typefaces and also reflecting on a collaborative piece.
