Provenance Font

Some experimental typography today in the studio. As part of his major project, an arts magazine entitled 'Provenance', final year student Michal Grazewicz has designed a typeface, called, appropriately enough, Provenance. 

The form is based around the simple geometry of a square, and despite the limitations this imposes on legibility in terms of copy, its ideal for the extremely large pointsizes and single glyphs he's planning to use in his layout.  The full magazine, in print and dps formats, will feature as part of Michal's exhibited work later this month.

Typography Posters

As well as the Mentor project, which the class have just been issued, two of the main HND projects during the early part of this semester will be Typography and Editorial, the latter working alongside our HND Photography students.

As a warm-up, the class revisited asymmetric typography and the compound grid, and came up with these nice A4 posters during a session last week.

HND 1 : Magazine Covers

HND Year 1 have just finished a nice print project. This was set by David W and required the class to produce two covers and a doublepage spread for a world music magazine. Check out some of the great pieces this project produced in the Galleries section.
