Top 10 fonts

 I like the ESPN font as the font is slightly more interesting than the typical bold font and as it has what looks like a white bar going across it which gives it a abstract effect.

 This font i think is interesting as it is made up of different lines but not all the lines are joined together which makes it look more interesting. Also the way they change the width of the font makes it look more  effective and would make it stand out more than other fonts.

 This font i think is different as they have an actual skyline and the little dots also are used as the lights on the building. Even though it is a very different font compared to others it is still very easy to read.

 I feel that this font is very effective as each letter is different from each other which is what makes it look so significant. The problem with this font though its that it would only be able to be used of mainly titles which involves pulse even so i still think it is a excellent font.

 With the riot font in my opinion is a clever font as it looks as if it has been wrote with meaning instead of a lot of fonts which have been designed  to fit a certain title and like a lot fonts they look very similar to each other.

With this font there isn't really a lot of things which you are able to do with it but because its from a zombie movie and i think there is no other font which would fit this better than this one does.

Chopin Script is a font which i have used many of times in passed projects as it can be used in various different things from titles of magazines to logos and also titles of books. Another thing that i like about it is that it is a fancy font yet it is easy to read unlike a lot of the Old English fonts around these days.

With the Times New Yorker i think that even though it is one of the most popular font around just adding a little bit of smudge makes the font seem a lot more interesting a different. Even though that it was originally used in newspapers i think that this new style font could be seen in skateboarding magazines and maybe used for titles of movies.

The reason i really like this font is because the use of the lines and the way the it looks like some parts have been scratched off as if it was like graffiti on a wall.  The other thing that i like about this font is that it could be used for many different designs.

Tron is another one of my favourite fonts because of the way the letters look, some of the letters look fine then some of them have been slanted to the side to make it look abstract and a little bit futuristic. The font i think also looks very different to a lot of the fonts as some of them dont really look a lot like actual letters.

AD103 Visual Communication

For AD103 Visual Communication project we were asked to design a business card, Compliment sheet and a Letter head for one of the cafe/restaurants in newcastle college. We got the chance to have a look around at each of the restaurants in the college to look at the people that went there and to see what type of food and drinks they sold there. I picked Bistro as it looked like a nice restaurant where mostly young people tended to go as some of them were teachers only. I thought that a very simple  yet effective design would be best suited with just two colours which include white a a light brown. I thought it would be a good idea on the business card to have the logo on the back in reverse  to make the Bistro stand out a lot more. I feel that if i had more time i would of tried to find a slightly less boring font but i still think that this one works. What i enjoyed about this project was when we were able to look around the places that we would be designing for and having what was similar to a live client. What i disliked about the project was that it was difficult to find good restaurant business cards and compliment slips.

On this project we were asked to design two posters for Newcastle College Student Union. I chose to design one for Sexual Health clinic and a Volunteer poster. Both of the posters had to be similar to each other. For the Sexual health clinic i thought it would be a clever idea to put the title on the top as she's and angel and use a condom as a Halo. The things i would change about it is that the text could of been in a better area as it looks as if it is a little bit squashed between the NCSU logo and the Female logo. For the Volunteer i thought that i would use the same colour and the same image as the Sexual health poster but changed it so that it looked like they were putting their hands up to volunteer. The things i would change about it is that i think that the posters are a little too similar to each other, think i could of chose a different font for the top one or changed the font colour of the title.

AD102 Techniques & Processes: Illustration

This image here is my final design for the AD102 Techniques and Processes: illustration
We were asked to create and final design book cover for either the Penguin book one hundred Years or the famous Puffin book James And The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
When i was researching children's books i noticed that a lot of the books were colourful paintings/drawings so i thought it would be a good idea to do a watercolour like image for the front and back cover. I drew the tree and peach separate, scanned them in and placed them in a good position.  I was originally going to put a drawing of James on the cover but i feel that it is better not to have images of the characters as its more fun when people picture what they look like.
I hand wrote the title in a child like writing as it would make it more appealing to the children instead of some fancy or boring computer font. I thought that the blur looked more effective when text wrapped around the tree as it looked a little too boring when it wasn't. What i really enjoyed about this project was that i was able to use mix media and researching other old childrens books. What i disliked about it is that we were unable to choose our own personal puffin or penguin book.
