From the research i've looked at i can see how grid is key to successful graphics which is why the posters are now restricted to a specific grid. Within this i can play with the scale of the letterforms and it will continually look aesthetically correct.
Again the play with scale and layout on the page is so much more interesting then a line of text. Looking at type and seeing how shape, form, layout can draw interest to the viewer is something that fascinates me.

Love the below typeface, the contrasts in weight and the clear geometric shapes makes this cover aesthetically very pleasing. Also the change in scale brings interest to the page, all elements which i will bring to my own work.



Really like the play with paper fold and string binding, its different to the usual book and for this reason i think it becomes more engaging.
I do like playing with the scale of the type but it needs some order to it, nothing looks right on the page, just looks a mess
Using line i've tried connecting the shapes together to give the page a connection and represent joining and 'joints'. However it looks rubbish, the page looks like a mess and conveys nothing.



Looking at designs for the DVD that will accompany the poster, looking mainly at scale which i believe brings interest to the typeface ive created.


I like the above poster design, the less is more works well with the one enlarged letterform taking the attention it looks graphically interesting rather then having too much on the page.

Making sure i know the correct measurements for where folds will occur, above im laying out the information in an appropriate grid that is clear and easy to understand.





i've begun playing with layout of the type on the poster im going to have for pupils demonstrating wood joints.
