Design | Learning Task 13 : Good and bad type
Good Examples of type
1. 
The twirls at the end of the letters indicate delicate cake work and trimmings
2. 
The italics indicate movement essential in a gym and getting fit
3. 
The “R” in art shot looks like a brush stroke indicating artistic qualities as the photos show an artistic creation
4, 
The Orbea design gives the sense of movemont and curves indicate wheels as this is selling a bicycle
5.
The word revolution wwith its multiple piece letters indicate joinery essential in renovations.
Bad Type
1.
At the heads is very bland type and for a restaurant this does not convey an inviting message
2. 
Used car salesman in Comic Sans indicates something funny and lightharted. I don’t think that a sales person wants to come across a s a joke?
3. 
chilli on the back windows spacing so close together that the last 4 letters almost seem to be a blur and definitely not eye-catching for a moving advertisement
4. 
Paddy Pallin writing with its cursive links doesn’t convey an Outdoor store rather it seems more suited to a dress or fashion store
5. 
Devereaux renovations is hard to link it to a renovation company. maybe more emphasis need on the word renovation?
Learning Task 14 : Poster Design
“Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow” I consider this is a serious quote. So with that in mind I chose “Elephant” font as its Bold design along with Serif allows it to be taken seriously whilst being a loud statement. I have used different colour to convey the essence of the quote small being blue, as its something not normally seen to be a problem. And red to show that its a burning issue. The word Shadow is in grey for effect.
Design | Learning Task 11 : Typeface Panel
Kunstler Script is a regal handwritten design. Useful for invitations and signing artworks.
Kunstler Script was designed by the German Stempel foundry in 1902. Hans Bohn, a German graphic artist and type designer, extended the font family in 1957 with a black weight.
It was originally titled Künstlerschreibschrift, which translates from German to English as “handwriting of artists”.
