Objective: The objective of this assignment was to explore the interplay between color, scale, weight, and placement in typographic design. I aimed to understand how these elements could affect the perception and emotional resonance of a given text.
Instructions:
Text Selection: I began by choosing a quote or a short piece of text that resonated with me. It was essential to keep it concise, and I selected a quote from literature that held personal significance.
Color Choice: For this assignment, I worked with black and one additional color of my choice. I carefully considered the emotional and visual impact of the chosen color in relation to my selected text.
Design Variations: I created six different typographic compositions of my chosen text, each one experimenting with the following aspects:
Scale: I adjusted the size of certain words or letters to create emphasis or contrast within the text.
Weight: I experimented with varying font weights, including light, regular, and bold, to see how it altered the text's appearance.
Placement: I played with the placement of text on the canvas, considering alignments such as left, right, center, and justify, as well as more abstract placements.
Color Application: I introduced my chosen color in creative ways, such as highlighting specific words, using it for backgrounds, or applying it as an overlay.
Constraints:
I had to ensure that my designs maintained readability, as the goal was to enhance the message, not obscure it.
I stuck to using one typeface throughout the assignment to keep the focus on color, scale, weight, and placement.
