Brief – Moveable Type
The brief was to design an A1 type specimen poster for the font OCR-A this brief was part of a group project.
Concept –
The typeface we were given was OCR-A which appears on credit cards. The concept was to include this insight throughout our poster. We preferred to work with the ‘R’ in OCR-A as its strong lettering, to work with. We embossed the letter ‘R’ in plastic, giving a ridged and bumpy appearance behind the ‘R’, which is representing the idea of the credit card and how it influences the typeface. In the project, I helped to build the final 3D design and mock-up maquette in the workshop, which gave me an insight into what it's like working in those circumstances and a different environment.
