An Essay Can Be A Booklet
23 April 2014
Graphic Design student Sarah Diver-Lang has just handed in an essay on the Creative Industries as part of her HNC programme, and chose to abandon the standard essay format in favour of this charming typographic-based A5 booklet, featuring an A3 foldout 1500-word essay and accompanying visuals. You can check out more of Sarah's design work on her website.
Write It Out!
25 October 2011
As Erik Spiekermann once observed, "a real typeface needs rhythm, needs contrast, it comes from handwriting, and that's why I can read your handwriting, you can read mine."
So as part of their Typography unit, HND Year 1 were tasked with celebrating the handwritten word with a project entitled 'Write It Out!'
With the proposed client as the National Museum of Scotland, the brief required two submissions - handwritten letters to our industry mentors, and a set of visuals creating a campaign to promote an exhibition. Two of the most engaging results came from Stefano Cocchia and Katy Johnston.
Stefano gathered together some great quotes about handwriting, and created a series of bright typographical posters and then combined them all into this funky ad -
Katy Johnston's concept began with an inventive letter to Alan Lennon of Lennon Design, in the form of a doctor's prescription, with some great copy - Junior Designer, *Intern, 1 X daily as required between 9am and 5.30pm (weekends - emergency use only).
Katy then developed the medical theme and came up with some great
visual ideas alongside further examples of her inventive copy -
