PRESENTATION BOARDS

CONCEPT

The concept of my prject is in order to promote handwriting, so that it will not disappear in the digital age. I have tried to explore the relationship between handwriting and typeface. I did this by looking at the handwriting of different people and their favourite typefaces.The audience of my project are type enthusiasts, computer lovers and people who like handwriting. The aim is to create a unity between handwriting and typeface as both are personal and reflect the user.

LOGO

The design for my logo went through a through processes in order to make me realise one of the very first I did was my favourite and most appropriate. The design for my logo in my eyes is very important in order to brand my project and unify everything together whilst trying to communicate simply the relationship between handwriting and typeface.

EXHIBITION

To showcase my posters for the exhibition, the work would be simply displayed within a space, to celebrate type and handwriting. The exhibition would run alongside the international Typography Day 2011, which runs over the 3rd, 4th, and 5th March. The posters themselves would be printed lithographically, with 5 printed plates, including CMYK and a spot varnish that subtly works on top of the type printed in CMYK tints. The type is printed in colour, where as the handwriting is placed in line with the type, therefore creating a added depth to the images.

MAILSHOT

In order to communicate with my audience and get their attention to do my exhibition I need to send a Mailshot to various people who would hopefully want to know about the event. The mailshot consist of an envelope which has a vinyl cut design on it which has been backed with acetate to give it its strength and make it possible to see through, professionally printed it would be done as offset lithography on to a mid weight card as a net which would then be die cut. Once again only four printing plates needed for CMYK. What comes in the envelope is a card giving all relevant information of the exhibition on it, the front with my logo design and secondly the information

POSTERS

Posters in order to promote the event, which can be placed in various places; such as graphic studios, vis com studios, mosaic bar, leeds university and leeds met. There are three posters in the series to promote, each with a different handwritng and typeface accordingly, keeping to an ongoing colour regime.The posters once again have my logo on them, unifying the project. The information for the exhibition has been placed on the poster, which follows the same design as seen in the mail shot.The print processes of these poster would be ideally printed using offset lithograhy, as sheet fed due to a lesser high demand of production. With just four printing plates needed, as only using the four colours individually of CMYK.
