Max Gregory Badge.
Part of the brief was also to design a name badge. To see if our letter forms would work in small scale.
as discovered in mine, it does not. its overly complicated. As a result The typeface has to be looked at as a whole, and come up with a new set of rules the makes it less complicated. Rules that can be applied throughout the entirety of the typeface.

Max Gregory Initial Final Outcome.
Another potential outcome to the Max Gregory typeface, looking at the northern adjective in greater detail. Northern in the sense of my perception, Bold And simple in design. Editing Helvetica.
This is my initial final outcome for the Max Gregory typeface. Using the Adjectives Northern and Musical. Using musical notes as the basis for the shapes. Helvetica to represent his straight forward bold northern approach.

Max Gregory Typeface, Development.
Further development of the Max Gregory looking at simplifying the typeface and applying new rules. At making it more legible at a smaller pt. I have looked at focusing more on the northern adjective, but still incorporating max's musicality.

Max Gregory Type Face, Initial Research.
The purpose of this project was to design a type face, using the information gained about an individual. Max Gregory was chosen for me. I Described him using 5 adjectives and then apply this to a typeface. The typeface i chose to alter was Helvetica Bold. as i thought his matched his bold northern personality. i also focused greatly on his musicality.
The re done final outcome.
Here is my final outcome, re done. Its done on the computer which allows me to work more effectively in getting a cracked effected onto the letter G. And is much more effective in a sequence.
The original final idea.
here shows some examples my original final sequence, hand rendered. Using the G s the origin of the cracks. The cracks get bigger and make the G more illegible as the sequence continues. I have decided to re do this as the media used is in appropriate, and really doesn't show a glass cracking effect at all.

Alphabet Soup
For this project we were given a word, mine was damage. I then had to find away incorporate damage into a series of one or more than one letter, to produce a set ten letters.
My initial ideas for damage was looking at natural damage, i began looking at weathering, specifically freeze thaw weathering, which after a process of expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature shatters rocks, and i looked at applying this idea into a set of one letter, over a sequence. however this idea did not develop how i expected.
As a result i began to look at different materials that get damaged, an i came to glass. Taking inspiration from the Autoglass advert, which shows a process of a windscreen crack developing bigger and bigger over time due influences such as bumps in the road or weather. i began research on the idea.
