Today was a catchup workshop with John to finish our final Typeface designs. I've really enjoyed this workshop and love working with typography - so creating my own was great. The colours used for the drawing are slightly random because I couldn't find matching colours from the Bob Dylan poster - this will be present in the digital version.
The typeface I have designed is inspired by Milton Glaser, an American Graphic Designer that designs the I heart New York logo, Brooklyn Brewer logo and also the Bob Dylan poster which I used as my inspiration. I focused on the lines, curves and colours used to create the hair in the Bob Dylan poster, I produced the hand rendered version first as a guide for a final digital design. To allow myself to get the correct colours from the poster I made the type digital, after experimenting with the different colours used on the poster I like the idea of creating a theme, using specific colours to create a 'themed' type that could be used on websites, posters and anything that revolves around the colours. I used different shades of blue and pink/red to show how the typography might look if used. I'm really happy with the outcome of this, although it took a lot of time it turned out great...
