Typography I - Type Specimen Book

Open publication - Free publishing - More design

A type specimen book is meant to showcase a certain typeface in an appealing way. I decided to showcase the typeface Gill Sans Std for my type specimen book. Gill Sans appealed to me because of all of the different variations, even though Eric Gill didn't create all of them I later learned. Gill Sans is often referred to as the "Helvetica of England", therefore I used that as my theme for this book. Here is the book in its entirety.

Typography I - Design Culture Now

Original:

Revised:

Design Culture Now is a fictional event that we had to create a poster for. Since all the designers in the event use computers to create their design, I used a computer and technology based them for my poster. The original poster didn't work that well because the cube's angles aren't matched up very well and it still has issues with hierarchy. The revised one works much better with hierarchy and is also more visually appealing.
