Typography Term 1

A portfolio of all Typography projects for the first Term. Starting with the final exam and mid-test. Then, the regular assignments done throughout class.

Final Exam: Who I Am

A typographic poster describing myself. Imaginative painted in reddish purple and pointy to signify how imagination is like a sword that swings and can be unpredictable. Passionate painted in yellow and extremely bouncy and curvy to signify the uncontrollable, yet positive nature. Ambitious painted in red and blocky to signify the strictness and order that helps me properly build my goal.

Mid-Exam Project: Quote Poster

The quote "Be strong enough to be gentle" from Peter Cullen painted in different typefaces and colours (yellow and slightly curvy for "Be", red and blocky for "Strong", magenta and cursive for "enough to be", blue and blocky for "Gentle").
