Summer Brief Activity
For the summer brief we had to research 30 different examples for each letter of the alphabet, and on Monday we got into groups to bring all our letterform examples to together and classify them into 10 different groups of our choice. However some people hadn't remembered their letterforms therefore we didn't have as big as a selection as we could have had. The ten groups were as follows;
Photographed -
Oblique -
3-Dimensional -
Outline -
Bold -
Serif -
Sans-Serif -
Illustrative -
Handmade -
Uppercase -
This activity helped us as a group but also as individual to gain a better understanding of classifying letterforms and allowed us to share our knowledge of typography with each other. I found this activity very beneficial as i don't normally take an interest in illustrative typography but it helped me understand why some people do choose it.
