Started on my travel brochure for my graphics class. i think it's started off pretty well. I love, love LOVE the blurred composition, and how bright the fountain looks.

Menu - Start

Type Formatting - Menu


Started on my menu project during class last night. I'm doing it after a local chinese restaurant near my house. They have amazing, gourmet Chinese food/cuisine. Myself and my family is really good friends with the Owner, Sunny, because we went there when the restaurant first opened since we heard so many good things about it. I heavily recommend them if you're looking for a good, Chinese meal, made by family oriented people.


I did a basic color scheme, of khaki brown, brown and a tan, along with green for contrast with black text. I did a modern type theme. I think the cover of the menu might have too much text? But I'm not really sure...hm. I only just did a simple layout to show what I really wanted it to look like. So the first 3-ish pages are laid out to show what it would look like, and I'll probably add some photos or something later on, once I know what my teacher thinks. :| The bottom one I did a burgundy color cause I didn't really know what I was going for. I do like the futura text, because it has a modern feel to it, which I kind've implemented into the top one.

Finally got...

I finally got ADOBE IN-DESIGN. Cs3, but still. :)
I love you, BIT-TORRENT.

Type Format Project

Typography Project


I basically did a homage to Bauhaus.
I did originally have 3 columns of type, but went down to 2, so that the text didn't make 'rivers'. My teacher told me to try 2 column designs - I really did like my three column one. Underneath, though, is the one with 2 columns, spruced up and fixed. :)

Typography Thumbs

Typography Thumbnails
1) Diagonal typography type, Two small column type underneath in the bottom left corner, with a big BAUAUS B in the upper right corner. Can be flip-flopped if necessary. Page 2 of text will have 2 columns of text.


2) Typography in the top left corner. 3 columns of type underneath, and bauhaus across the bottom right, to top-right corners. Page 2 of text will have 3 columns of text.


3) Typography/Bauhaus logo in middle right corner, with 1 large column text box. Can be flip-flopped. Page 2 of text will have 2-3 columns of text.


4) Lot's of white space. Typography in top left corner, with 'history of type' underneath it. Will include brief history. Page 2 of text will have the history of bauhaus, with 3 columns of text.

Simple layout.

* I personally like this layout.

- will add a pop of color for a bit of contrast.

5) Typography/History of type in a diagonal form. A bit of white space, but there will be a spice of color in the layout (light blues, maybe reds and or greens). Lines in the layout to guide your eyes, with two text boxes on the right and left side(s) of those lines. Page 2, will be a 2 column layout, with more history of typography.

6) Bauhaus Layout. BIG B over the type. Not really a good layout ides, but it does look pretty cool. Page 2, will have 3 columns about the history of bauhaus.

I personally like #4, because it's simple, but can be made a little bit more complex.

Bauhaus Typography

I think I'm going to do some bauhaus for my typography project. I'm infatuated with the type and also, it's german - which helps a lot too, since I'm half-german. :) I mean look at this:

<---------

Who wouldn't wanna do a typography project after bauhaus? A loser. :|

Learning about typography history in class. Mm.
I dunno what to think about it honestly, but I don't even know where to start on my project. :|
