Mini Brief Specific evaluation
Throughout this brief I feel that I have development my typographic skills in the sense of physically making fonts a great deal, I now kind of respect the time and effort that goes into producing a typeface much more, it has also made me much more conscious of the small detail within a font and as a whole just made me more typographically aware.
I feel that my software skills have been challenged in the sense that I had to step up my level of accuracy and precision within illustrator.
I feel that I am now much more efficient in producing fonts or approaching the production of fonts and the fact that I might not choose to do another pure type driven brief I will take elements of this brief into future branding briefs to then apply what I have learnt here to the branding sector of the industry.
The negative area's of this project I would say were my project planning as I found myself rushing my fonts and then trying to focus on making deliverables for them, looking back I would of preferred to produce more fonts or more weights of a font and not of bothered to produce loads of variations of posters but just simply flush it on an image. I feel I wasted so much time on trying to deliver my font I lost precious time in developing my fonts to their full potential. If I had more time I would propose producing a wider font family for both my fonts and then also spend the time and start using fontographer as this would of brought up my efficiently and allowed me to make my fonts key able without starting over. One other weekness I found in this brief is my incapability to produce a purely typographical poster without disliking it, this might be due to the low content on my posters but this was a difficulty I struggled with. In future I would attempt typographic posters if I had a solid concept and content backing it.
One strength this project did have was it made me speak to other photographers within the college to get access to their photo's and helped build up networks for me.
