EXPERIMENT + REFLECT

Final Modular Alphabet

I am so pleased with how this turned out, I particularly love how the sponge created a distressed effect on the circular modules of my alphabet.  I feel like its simplistic yet refined.

EXPERIMENT + REFLECT

When briefed with the task of creating my own modular typography, I was eager to get started, however, I’ve found it way more difficult than I had anticipated. Some letters have been easy to create and others downright hideous - A & C were particularly tricky.  Its been a real stretch to continually find inventive ways to present each letter but I have found that with each letter my confidence has grown.  

I began to loose momentum with this task but I was able to identify which shapes I wanted to develop further.  When I reviewed all of my letter ideas, I really liked the ones developed with triangles.

Modular Type Development 

After watching a YES! Speaker Series event with Matt Willey, I was totally inspired by his work, in particular his use of dots.  Feeling like my first experiments with graffiti style type weren't working in the way I had hoped, I decided to play with dots.
