EVALUATION - Alphabet Soup Typeface

WHICH PERSONALITY TRAITS DID YOU CHOOSE TO RESPOND TO AND APPLY THE THEME?

  • outgoing
  • bold
  • friendly 
  • quirky
  • upbeat 
  • lowercase (short)


WHAT ARE THE REASONS BEHIND THE DESIGN DECISIONS YOU HAVE MADE FOR THE TYPEFACE?
I designed an italic, lower case typeface with irregular bulges which stand out (bold), visually pleasing and appears slightly quirky. I also had parts of each letter extending out from it representing his outgoing personality. Looking at the typeface from a distance it it legible and has a 'fun and outgoing' appearance to it.

IN WHAT WAYS ARE THE RESULTS EFFECTIVE?

  • Represents his bold, fun, outgoing and quirky personality. 
  • The typeface is legible
  • Visually pleasing and flows

ISSUES RAISED
  • Consistency of size of bulges (boldness) and the size of the letter
  • Some parts were not very legible - would it work as a smaller size font?
  • The letter 'r' is not very legible
  • For development work from a distance so can see the typefaces as a whole
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
  • upper case
  • measuring size - consistency
  • different outlines
  • sentences
  • logic
  • serifs/no serifs
