Typography

-How I did my idea

The idea I went for was “trusting” I decided to go for trusting because when asking people that knew me well had this feeling or emotion they felt represented me. When looking into other types of typography I looked at the top pieces and what made them so good. When deconstructing the images seen on this incredibly inspiring website: http://www.designyourway.net/blog/inspiration/41-examples-of-impressive-3d-typography/ it showed me that not all designs have to be packed full of graphics. I wanted to have a nice basic design so that my typography would express its self with out confusing my audience. I did my typography in illustrator I made It by using a mixture of masks and text to create my design.

-Research into other typography

I looked in to other typography on several website:

I looked at these websites to increase my knowledge of typography I researched all different types of ideas so that I could get the best out of my project.

-Ideas

My main Idea was to do trusting I had images in my head of how I was going to portray trusting. I wanted to use the s in trusting to link half the word to the other half and have a bond. I used the S to link the to words to convey trust.

-Colour schemes/palette

I used the blue colours because in the colour wheel it shows that blue is the colour for trust so I used the blue palette to convey my feeling. I wanted to try and show my design with out clashing the colours. I believe that it shows my feeling well in illustrator.

Choosing my feeling/emotion

I thought the best way to get an emotion or feeling that represented me best was to ask toughs closest to me I asked them because I may view my self different to others so I did some research and asked my family and house mates what feelings and emotions come to mind when you look at me and the results are below. I went with trusting as people that know me well say I’m a truthful and honest guy. I liked the idea of trusting because I believed that I could make a good typographic design and that it would link nicely to my personality.
