Survey 5 – artifact
For my artifact I originally chose to make a set of contact lenses inspired by the original glass ones made by Eugen Fick. Although I was able to make the lenses they proved hard to photograph and I had to instead illustrate them as an advertisement. I tried to choose similar typefaces seen on a poster made by jobbing printers and I am overall pleased with how the advertisement turned out. Because I wanted to make the title very bold and in a thick font it made it difficult to fit both the era and the title without taking away from the aspect of the larger text. Overall I would give myself a 7/10 because I only like half of the spread. I spent most of my time focusing on the artifact rather then the text and that was my downfall.
