This week I was assigned to design a zine about typography. I have decided to focus of the Glasgow style and its vertical and angles type style. I will focus on a few features, such as important characteristics of the type style, important figures, the history and it’s influence or maybe it’s appearance it’s present times. I definitely want to incorporate Glasgow style elements, such as long figures, value palette and natural shapes.
Characteristics:
Vertical lines
Geometrical
Long
Important Figures
The Four – Mackintosh, Charles Rennie, J. Hebert McNair, Frances and Margaret McDonald.
Beardsley
History
