A social media banner ad for a ongoing training class at my church.

As mentioned in the previous post, one major problem is to find a great placement/treatment for 2017 where it can be both easily seen but not take up unnecessary space. I decided to scale it up, put it dead center and turn down the opacity. By doing this, the large size of the letters can be easily spotted by anyone walking in the room where it is and won’t mess up the visibility of texts written on the calendar for scheduling/planning.

The most problematic thing to solve here is the placement of the year 2017 in the layout. It should be somewhere it can be both easily seen and won’t take up unnecessary space. I’ll show how I solve this in the last post.

I would say that the solution I’m going for is very Swiss with faithfulness to grids.

I can’t sleep so I’m going through a typeface design project design I started in 2015 but had bee put aside. It's the typeface called Traffic. I plan to finish it this Q1 2017.

So start with a question. Get to know it deeper. Explore possible answers and see what works for your case. After that, you'll have something to edit and post.

By the time this post is published, I should have created a custom font for my client using the mark in their logo.
