Pedro's Type Detective Journal - Week 1

 Pedro's Type Detective Journal - Week 1 

 

This week I started a typography journal were for my first entry I tried to make the fonts tell a story. I used different fonts ranging from a horror movie one, to futuristic, to western. I tried to make the fonts tell a story of their own, I consider my self a newbie artist because I struggle to draw correctly. I have never been a good artist but I hope to improve my skills in it this year. For one of the fonts, I tried to do a speedy font but I gave up because I could not draw it correctly, maybe some time throughout the week I can try again. Typography is an important piece of graphic design, it draws attention, shows personality, and as mentioned before, it tells a story. 

 

 

A piece that I chose for this blog that uses typography really well was this movie poster for the 2014 film "The Lego Movie." I like the font on this because it is a bold font emphasizing that it is fun and it is also under construction or being built giving a nod to Lego's function.
