Daily review/ final specimen crit feedback


Developed type specimen 


I added the mockup images onto this specimen poster; the layout works well as it expresses the theme well and provides consistency. I think to develop the images further I am going to add a half tone effect to match my poster design.


I improved my alphabet design further to add in different line weights. This just meant that I could show off different variations of the type better. I am going to put the rationale in the middle for either font.

Initial rationale


Crit feedback / Tasks to do next 

The main areas that were picked up on in the crit were:

  • legibility in the rationale; I need to use some kerning to to make the text more readable 
  • physically stick up my poster design 
  • try printing on transparent paper and layering them to build the poster design
  • try layering the type/alphabet diagonally/differently to test out new structures 
  • in the rationale page some letters aren't visible as they're covered by the rationale; try and fit the alphabet around the rationale 
  • try logotype smaller for the building mockup 
  • finish rationale 
For Monday I want to finish my specimen design by improving my alphabet layout by making all letters visible, as well as finishing my rationale. Also I need to print out my poster design to do a few mockups, as I want to experiment with showing my poster in context on a multitude of colours etc.
