Victory Cycles Logo design

Type Project Evaluation

Overall i think most of my type project went quite well, i am also very happy with the final outcomes . I looked into and experimented with handmade type, by making the alphabet out of paperclips and with materials such as glue, gouache, bubble wrap, cardboard and a variety of different inks. I enjoyed making the handmade type faces, and live tracing them so they looked a lot cleaner and bolder and it was easier to adjust and edit them. I think any the type faces i made suited the book i chose as they were a selection of Helvetica designs with different adjustments and effects . (Helvetica, Homage to a typeface) For my final mac-made poster, i created a vector based design to make the initial idea. I liked how this turned out and the simplicity of the whole design makes it represent Helvetica and the red top of the "A" repersents Switzerland as it is a Swiss typeface. The part of the project i enjoyed the most was definitely making the final design on the macs, as i feel i am better at this than making handmade outcomes.
