Self Evaluation - Alphabet Type

Sunday 18 October 2009

The evaluation after designing a type for one another.


Your Name: Robyn Russell Partners Name: Josh

Which personality traits did you choose to respond to and apply the typeface?

I find Josh funny and quite bubbly and he really likes Star Trek so i wanted to chose those characteristics and make it quite fun to look at with a star trek theme, thats why i chose a cartoonie style (to match his personality)

What are the reasons behind the design decisions you have made for the typeface?

I wanted to try and show a bit of his personality with the type thats why its in a cartoon style and fun to look. and the best way to show his passion for star trek i thought would be to use the uniforms from the series as this is obvious and will clearly stand out.

In what ways are the results effective?

The typeface achieves everything that i set out to do, in my opinion. It shows his personality as well as getting the star trek message across obviously. I wanted my typeface to work well together simply and obviously which personally i think it does.

(Refering to the typeface that has been designed for you)

What personality traits do toy interpret from th typeface designed to represent you?

Its fun and colourful which i like - the zips show my love for the rocky horror picture show which works well with the colour.

Describe what you think of the typeface?

Each letter is legible and would be readable when all put together. Personally i think its a little simple and maybe doesn't show the complete aspects of me but visually it does work.

In what ways is it effective and in what way is it ineffective of representing you?

The use of colour with zips and curls defiantly shows what u spoke to Josh about. I know what Josh wanted to add more which would probably have represented me better.
