After receiving submissions for MoodGlyph, we have found that we have more than one submission for a few letters; so far this consists of B, E, R, and S. The main issue with this is that we cannot make a typeface with multiple designs for each letters; this means there will have to be some selection on mine and Spencers' part in regards to which letters we will choose. Also, with it being two days before the submission deadline, I thought I'd post this update on our story:

As well as this, because there is an element of selection within the project, it would be fair to upload an instagram post that discloses this information. After the deadline on Friday night, we have decided to create some kind of thank-you post that explains that we will now be selecting the final letters to be featured in the alphabet. Also, I have just spoken to Spencer and in reflection of the peer feedback i have received, we are going to start posting in colour on our instagram. This will create a nice separation between the pre and post submission branding of the project. Also, I think using colour will definitely push the project to consider the element of emotions better, as we could look into colour theories and their meanings in regards to emotions. This would tie in nicely with out publication, as we could create a new, more exiting visual language for the final outcome. Despite this, the concept to keep the design minimal still stands, as we still want to place more emphasis on the typeface itself. 

The next steps

After creating my list in preparation for when I next meet Spencer, we need to have a discussion on who is going to do what in order to make the projects' workload to be fairly split between us both. I think Spencer is going to create the last black and white thank-you instagram post, and then we need to decide on what colour palette to use in order to make it more consistent. As well as this, I'm going to gather some visual research to further inform the designing of the publication.
