Brief 3 - Alphabet Soup/Type Face: Interim Crit

The feedback that was given for Brief 3 has been really useful for developing the alphabet further. The way the crit was laid out meant that we didn't present to the group, but rather lay our work out and let it speak for itself. On a separate sheet was written anonymous feedback which we could then use to develop our alphabet.




The main pieces of feedback that seem to be of value are the following:

  • examples of the font silhouettes being used as the starting point
  • begin looking at 3D and mechanical 
  • Top heavy letters work well
  • exploring the idea of tracks and working that in with the font of Briem Akademi
  • tall letterforms
  • 'divided idea is most visually pleasing' - idea of constructing and deconstructing
  • choose a clear path, focus on one of his traits or think of overlapping traits
  • focus on creating more legible letterforms
From this it allows for a wide range of ideas to be developed further and hopefully form a strong basis of work.
