This publication was a school research project in which I examined the typefaces of Zuzana Licko. The subject of the book is about the impact of the type designer’s fonts from the 1980s through the 1990s. To reinforce this theme, I used a series of multicolored squares and Licko’s unconventional typefaces throughout the book. In complement to the grid formed by these orthogonal elements I deployed radical layouts in homage to Emigre magazine, the publication Licko used to promote her fonts.
This book is the result of a typography assignment in which I created an eight page booklet using one font family. The theme of the book is based on different modes of transportation in reference to the original application of Adrian Frutiger’s typeface Frutiger. Each page of the book uses a different weight of the typeface with a theme that coresponds the properties of the font.
These series of posters were for a class project to produce a marketing campaign for the camera manufacturer Nikon. I decided to do a viral marketing campaign in which one of the posters will be displayed in areas of public transportation for several months to be replaced with the next series of posters and etc. Each series of posters will reveal more of the final picture which is shown at the bottom.
The posters are to represent the technical superiority of the Nikon brand over the competition. To achieve this I choose to go with a futuristic theme consisting of geometric shapes, grids and circuitry on a backdrop of a human face. This textural arrangement advocates the technological assimilation of man and camera; which suggest to the viewer is the future of photography.
For these series of book covers I chose to redesign William Gibson’s Neuromancer trilogy: Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. The reason for this revision is due to the overall lack of effective design and unity from previous book covers of the science fiction series. I decided on a monochromatic color scheme for each of the books to help the reader distinguish which book their reading and how each book is related. The graphics for the covers I opt for a heavily textured and technical background with a illustrated portrait of one of the main characters from the book. The backdrops are a chaotic disarray of computer circuitry and binary numbers, an environment the author conveys throughout the series as the characters explore “cyberspace”. For the text I chose the font Eurostile because its heavy use in science fiction movies and for its easy to read orthogonal forms.
For this class project I was to construct and design a calendar for the year 2011 based on the films of the director Stanley Kubrick. To unify the piece I decided to add a film template to the whole calendar to counter the different themes of each of movies that the director has produced. For each page I chose the appropriate film title and the relevant holidays for the month. The color scheme of each panel is representative of the content from each of the films. This system is also reflected in the template and the text to bring together the different elements within each design.
