I just sketched some quick penguins of the top of my head. Wasn’t too happy with them but didn’t expect much. Just thought I’d post them anyway….

For my background, I wish to have penguins walking down the screen as you read to tie it in with the penguin books that Jan Tschichold designed in his later life and to try to continue with my drawn plan.                              …

I have finally finished the actual essay and I am at the point where I will begin to add my images and illustrations. I spent a lot of time developing the bibliography as I found this quite hard and have already added in the illustrations for this section. We had a critique with Kyle and…

Added footed and reworded header along with changing some of the spacing padding and formatting. Images are still to be added. https://leanderixd.github.io/jan_tschichold/jan_tschichold-three.html…

I used some previous code to create the foundations of my web essay and then added some extra code to create a more advanced menu bar. I found this code on the w3 school’s website. I found using my wireframe quite useful for the initial layout. I hope to add illustrations and images next weekend…

We finally presented our presentation after about 3 weeks of working on the powerpoints. Our group consisted of 4 people: Leonie, Cormac, Jessica, and myself. I felt like we did not distribute the work well which wasn’t helped by the lack of communication. I am someone who doesn’t like leaving things last minute and doesn’t…

I have now completed the 1000 words and have a bit left to go on the essay. These are some wireframe sketches I drew up in my sketchbook. the main inspiration is from the penguin books and the work Jan Tschichold created himself….

We decided that we would do Bauhaus and the New Typography. So I decided to begin to do some general research. http://www.designhistory.org/Avant_Garde_pages/BauhausType.html https://anm102pm.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/anm102-ch16-bauhaus-and-new-typograph.pdf https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/bauhaus-typography To say that the whole graphic design industry owes its life to the Bauhaus movement would be a serious understatement. The Bauhaus typography is especially credited for the development of modern day graphic…

After the Group critique on Friday I decided to take some of the advice I had noted down from the tutors and applied them two my type specimens. I ended up messing around a bit more to try and make them work and was fairly happy with my outcomes. These are the follow-ups of my…

We went in on Friday and received feedback on our sketches. Initially, I used stencils to create mine however the feedback I received said that they were all very similar and didn’t really seem to be three independent type specimens. So when I went home I drew up some more ideas really quickly. I tried…

In this task we are researching a typeface we select from six: Futura Gill Sans Helvetica Palatino Times New Roman Baskerville After which we are to design and create a type specimen for an iPad screen(768 x 1024). I initially decided to pick Helvetica due to the fact I’ve worked with it before and wanted…
