Graphic Design Typography

A member of the student team responsible for planning the exhibition through to execution of the event and formatting the marketing catalogue. We titled the show, Draw Move Type View, to represent the four graduate pathways. The typeface I designed was chosen to represent the Graphic Design pathway and featured throughout the exhibition show. Aim: To create an exhibition representing and celebrating all students who completed the course, highlighting their strengths and showcasing all pathways equally. Interpretation: To ensure an original typeface was created for each pathway; Graphic design, Motion design, Photography and Illustration, visually representing each catagory. Inspiration: My Graphic Design typeface was inspired by the modular grids often used in the discipline, each letter is created within a square. Design: As a group, we curated a series of statement words to accompany the crafting of a unique typeface encompassing the distinctive characteristics of the four pathway practices. These words were displayed on a large scale in the fonts designed by the students at various points throughout the exhibition behind students’ work.
