day 1 : day 2 : day 3 : day 4 : day 5 : day 6 : day 7 : final result



The third day the students began the day by placing each their designated characters from the selected aesthetic on the wall. By categorizing the characters the students then began a discussion over which characters were working aesthetically, conceptually, and in relation to the other forms. The diversity in forms from one character to another challenged the group in choosing a selective set that best represented the visual direction that they thought the typeface should follow. A wall of selected characters was formed (row 4). Several studies were created using the selected characters to find problems and positive aspects of the characters. The group then decided on a common word 'HAMBURGE" to explore individually with the selected characters (row 5 & 6). Each student resolved the word using his/her interpritation of the typeface. During the discussion of these explorations a single example was choosen, (last square). For tommorrow the students were given a few characters to digitalize.
