Two Spoons Cafe Logo

Two Spoons Cafe Menu Pages

Week 11

While looking for inspiration for packaging for our restaurant project, I came across this hand crafted design that had the organic feel that I was looking for. Since my project is a coffee cafe, this was perfect to look at for some ideas. The varied typefaces work well together, and as I have worked with different typefaces in a  previous project, I think I may  revisit this idea again for the current project. The colors and type are simple, making the design feel unified and economic.

Week 10

Since we are about to begin making logos for our restaurant in class, I found these logo ideas on Pintrest for some inspiration. They are unique, organic, economically simply, and have very popular typography style. I think that the RP logo is especially genius, using what appears to be the shadow of the R to create the second letter of P. It is subtle and interesting.

Poster Inspiration

 While deciding on positioning and layout of my poster, these little thumnails gave me a few ideas, and while I didn't use any of these layouts, it got the ball rolling in relation to how I set up my title and text.

These fun and varied types were the beginning of my inspiration to use different types in the title of my poster. I like the organic and casual feel they give, and incorporated a similar feel in my project.

Week 9

 This image is really creative, fun, and informative! It has great typeface combinations, and very successful colors that make it easy on the eye and the brain. I like the layout and simple shapes that make it easy to follow and understand.

This image is a mood board that I found on Pintrest. Since this will definitely be a part of my future career, I was very interested to see an example of one. There are examples of the colors, type, and images that a client may want to see before a project is put together.

Week 8

 

The layouts that are shown in this image are really creative and original. Since we were working  with grids for our poster designs recently, I found these interesting to look at. The varying typefaces and different positions of type keep things interesting and draw in the viewer. I was especially drawn in by the bright and fun colors, which can really stand out against a wall if you are trying to capture people's attention.

Week 7

I have been really interested in the way designers pair typefaces together, and both of these images that I have posted are great examples of very different typefaces that work well together. They emphasize some words words for impact, but still work together harmoniously, making the words fun to look at and to read.

A Little Something Extra

http://www.wimp.com/blackletter/
Some really cool calligraphy skills!

Week 6

This logo is obviously designer crafted, and is a creative use o the letter form A. Rather than having a cross bar and hairline stroke, we still see an A with only the stem stroke, apex, and a single serif, and with the embellishment on the side.

Week 5

These script types have almost every different kind of style, swash, weight, point size, etc. Have a collection of these on hand could be very useful in the future if i would ever be looking for a good script type. A Calligraphers Type IIII for example has a very large point size compared to its x-height, while Bickley Script has a more proportionate point size to its x-heigt. Some have very large swashes while others have relatively small embellishments. All of these types are reminiscent of the Humanist style.

Week 4

This design is very clever and funny, and has great typography too. The word design is a script type, but it doesnt have any swoshs' or embellishments, which is good because if it did it might have taken away from the image since it is over top of the picture. The seriffed type being the glass is varied in thickness which makes it interesting, and the serifs do not have brackets.

Week 3

This type face has a lot of decorative qualities that make it unique and fun. The serifs are shaped into a "v" rather than the straighter lines that are normally present. The leg of the "R" turns into a swash that really brings the 2 separate words together, making them appear as more of a whole. It has a hand drawn look that makes it feel casual and even refreshing, which ties into the fuzzy picture that is behind it.

Type Journal Week 2

 

This image, that I found on Pintrest (pinned by design enthusiast Mitchell Kraft), has many different kinds of type that all seem to fit well together. Some of the letters have serifs, like "music" and "pain" while others do not, such as "hits you." There is even some script type. I really react to this combination of typography because each line seems to have its own personality and impact, making each word seem meaningful. The differing typefaces and sizes are also reminiscent of the late 19th century advertisements that had many different typefaces and varied sizes to command attention in urban spaces.

I think that Febreze has a really great type. The fluid like letters really speak of the product, and the drawn window and breeze going through it further adds to its character.
