T-Shirt Design Sketches

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.
