typography studio 1 - project 1
project 1 has been in process since last week in type studio 1, but I’ll give a brief rundown for those who care. The project is a call for entries for a typeface design competition in japan, through a company called Morisawa. The project calls for a multi-part, unified design including an enclosing envelope, cover page, two page instruction sheet, 3 page type specimen sample, and entry form. We spent the last two class periods creating a logotype (hand drawn or digital) starting with thumbnails and working up, and most recently, defining a grid system on which to base all of the materials. I’ll post all of the sample sheets and project description in a day or two (I have to scan in the pages, since the professor refuses to enter the digital age for classroom instruction, even though we meet in a computer lab).
So, the basic in class process runs like this.
logotype design (sketches) -> logotype roughs (digital) -> grid system line, greeked, actual type -> type study in place -> further production and assemblage.
I’ll post the supporting documentation and samples tonight.

So, no more posts on your blog?
I was hoping you’d be able to write something here every now and then.
