The document discusses various typographic design experiments using techniques like duplicating, overlapping, and warping text in different orientations and combinations of fonts to create effects like reflections, distortions, and the illusion of falling letters. A range of fonts including serif, sans serif, and display styles are used along with techniques like drop shadows, strokes, and transparency to enhance the designs for different purposes and audiences. The designs are intended to be simplistic yet effective using layers, rotations, sizing, and placement of text elements.

1. Task6

2. Here I have created something a little more simplistic in style and design using a sans
serif font that could be found in all types of publications possibly for a header or caption
to give the illusion of there being a reflection, which could be developed further into
being a more sutal effect if the text underneath had the opacity lowered to give to
created this idea of it been a reflection. As well as this I could experiment with the sizing
of the text and duplicating it to develop this design further. Instead of the usual drop
capital I have just slightly emphases the F for more of a dramatic effect as it helps make
it stand out also the use of the fs from opposing angles created the illusion of a border
which frames the text.
Here still sticking the with the word fashion I have carried on with this idea of duplicating
and overlapping to created this distorted type of text, which i feel could work as well
with a number of different words surrounding a similar subject and the message can still
clearly be understood. As well as this I could experiment with the sizing of this, either of
each of the letters within the word or a whole word. On top of this I added another layer
using just the later f and then placed into the centre of the design, which i added some
effects to. A drop shadow to give this 3D effect and stand out from the background layer
a stroke was added as a bold outline contrasting well from the lime green that has been
used against the black. Just like the other design above I have used a chunky bold serif
font which is easy to read and could be used for a number of different purposes.
In this case I looked at experimenting further and combining a number of different fonts
that will appeal to both a male and female audience the more feminine serif fonts and
the masculine sans serif type, which have all been placed un different text boxes then
allowing them to be warped rotated and stretched in this I have kept to angles horizontal
and vertical of a 90 degree angle to achieve something with more of a formal tone
which is sutal but effective. If I was to develop this I could look at experimenting with
colour palettes depending on its end purpose and its audience or even drop shadows,
glows, strokes and reflections. Something of this nature could work well as apart of a
title which has this diagonal drop to it that could work well when warping text or image
around this.

3. Similar to what was created previously this diagonal pattern has been used again
but in this case I have experimented more with the warping and rotations of these
letters to create the illusion of the falling letters. With some of the letters bigger
then others and then put together in a jigsaw like fashion. the ‘i’ and ‘a’ i have made
sure they are emphased among others that has had a drop shadow incorporated to
make it stand out from with this 3D style especially with the combination of colour
to. And again I feel that it would work better with a chunky font as it would get lost
and become unclear with a serif font.
I feel that the design to this is simplistic but effective using two duplicated
layers of the word ‘fashion’ with one smaller and then been overlapped
and the opacity lowered that makes it more transparent for the other text
to be seen through. That could be developed further into using clipping
masks to add images within the text reflective of the subject matter. The
font I have chosen here is more of a cartoon comic style as I feel that it
wouldn't work as well with a thinner scrawly font as it will become
difficult to understand and read and is also more beneficial to use lighter
colours as it allows the other text to be seen though which could be
increased upon and adding more than two layers.
Again here and sticking with the same word I have kept the design simplistic still on
a horizontal level. Within this design there has been two text boxes used with one
placed lower then the other to create this effect of the text overlapping one
another, as if it was apart of a magazine cut out. The lime green/yellow colours that
have been incorporated helps to split up the monochrome and again the use of the
stroke helps to achieve this hand drawn look. Within this i could also look to warp
and curve the text with a sense of wrapping it round the page or even falling off the
page. Or could even tried out with more then one font type both contrasting in
type.
