TYPOLOGY

here is a book, which looks at a range of different authentic typefaces, which are predominantly, serif. the design in this book works well as it uses typefaces and fancy lines to make up the aesthetics of the design, this will be a major consideration for the fable project. due to the photographs being a strong part of the content it will be good to use a authentic typeface to act as a secondary form of aesthetics rather than using icons or other imagery.

130 ALPHABETS & OTHER SIGNS

Due to the Fable project being based on a playful concept and visual language, it will allow to experiment with a range of different typefaces for the design.

ANTHONY BURRILL

After Crits on the development of the Pretty Practical logo, i have found that the logo, which i have produced is not fitting the style of the product.
i have taken a symmetrical route, using a Spirograph style. this needs to made more appropriate for the product. so i will experiment with colour and more shapes in a similar manor to Anthony burrill. who creates depth and impact in his design through simplistic shapes, lines and colour.

The use of Colour overlays helps break up the grid used and creates depth in the layout, this helps make each page feel unique and makes the design look visually appealing, the use of different stocks with in the design helps make pase the flow the the book, this would be nice approach for the design of the yearbook, introducing different stocks will increase the price, but could work well on the quotes pages.

Peter Fischli and David Weiss
_
is a 1987 art film by the Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss.
The machine is in a warehouse, about 100 feet long, and incorporates materials such as tires, trash bags, ladders, soap, oil drums, and gasoline. Fire and pyrotechnics are used as chemical triggers. The film is nearly 29 minutes, 45 seconds long, but some of that is waiting for something to burn, or slowly slide down a ramp.

Srefan Kanchev- ICON DESIGN

Stefan Kanchev has a nice style for his logo and icon desings, they have impact, due to th simplistic use of shapes and one colour approach, this allows the logos to work on a range of levels in terms of size (large and small), alongside other logos and text. the fact that the icons and logos work strongly by themselves and alongside others makes them succesful designs.

STEFAN KANCHEV- REALLY NICE illustrative style.

Here is a nice illustrative style by Srefan Kanchev, he has a intricate approach to produceing imagery, which works well with his use of a large colour palete, due to the use of block colour, this makes his designs perfect for print, his style also works in terms of balance and pattern.
