I aimed to present the information in as simple a manner as possible, pretending that my audience knows nothing about type history and is just learning about it for the first time. I also included large letters in their corresponding typefaces to visually represent my information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to merge the typography with the shape of a timeline, turning the &#8216;T&#8217;s of the title into one large arrow. I kept the colour scheme simple as to not distract from the most important part of this poster: the delivery of the information. I made the decision to use different typefaces in my title to add visual interest while keeping it relevant to the project as I chose typefaces that chronologically follow the content in my infographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote all the type by hand which was a painstaking and difficult process, as I had to be very meticulous to ensure my lines were as clean as possible, but I am happy with the end result. It was a fun challenge to try and imitate typefaces for the titles (which are Garamond, Abril Fatface, and Futura respectively) and the for letters on the left side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would give myself an 8\/10 for this project. I am proud of my lettering and am happy with the overall design, but I could have added a few more facts. That being said, I didn&#8217;t want to cram too much information on the poster, that would make it look too crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-ashworth-creative\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.ashworthcreative.com\/blog\/2014\/07\/brief-typography-typefaces\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wOgIkxAfJsk&#038;ab_channel=BenBarrett-Forrest\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toptal.com\/designers\/ui\/typeface-history\">https:\/\/www.toptal.com\/designers\/ui\/typeface-history<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.widewalls.ch\/magazine\/typography-history-art\">https:\/\/www.widewalls.ch\/magazine\/typography-history-art<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fontsinuse.com\/uses\/5578\/the-story-of-our-friend-the-fat-face#:~:text=The%20first%20truly%20fat%20roman,expansion%20of%20trade%20and%20commerce.\">https:\/\/fontsinuse.com\/uses\/5578\/the-story-of-our-friend-the-fat-face#:~:text=The%20first%20truly%20fat%20roman,expansion%20of%20trade%20and%20commerce.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project rationale I decided to do a brief overview of the history of typography, which includes important typographic styles such as Transitional and Modern but also a few extra details on typefaces such as Fat Faces and Futura.
