Analysis of older work

For this, I choose to talk about the design that I edited in assignment 2 that was originally from assignment one. This is because I feel that the font type I used in it is particularly interesting.  The name of the font is called, “Old English Text MT”. I’ve chosen this font because it helps carries the colonial era theme. I wanted to embrace the Pirate theme since the location of the place is, “the Pirate House”.  I know that failed in the sense of representing the band. But this decision was made because of the band non-popularity. For the extra copy portion, I used a font called, “Small Fonts”, this break away form the theme and gives it a contemporary look and it is easy to read.

Redesign

1.        In this design, I changed the band name font to “Sydnie”, because it gives it pixilated look which hint a modern feel. For the time and location, I use “Impact” to make it stand out since the size I’ve decided to use for it is relatively small compare to the rest. I use a font called, “Poor Richard” for the date of the event. This is a serif type font. I used “Microsoft sans serif” for the ticket price and “MS reference Sans serif” for the extra copy. In general, I try not to use over elaborate type font to give it that fundamental, contemporary look.

1.        For this flyer, I revamped it with some more hip type font. I played with the idea that since the band plays punk rock type music, I used a font called “Rock Font” for the word “the” in the band name. As for the rest, I stuck them with a font called, “Round Genius.” This is because they are not overly decorated, relatively simple. Also because they have that un-uniformed and ink like look which go hand in hand with the type of music the band plays.

Black and White

Since the client could not afford to have the flyer in colors, I have made a black and white version of the flyer that would be photocopy friendly.
