Art 230 Glyph Project

Here I have created two compositions, one in Neue Haas Grotesk Bold and the other in Stemple Garamond Roman. 

This project required me to come up with two designs using at least five unique glyphs in each font which include at least five unique elements of typographical anatomy. The prompt also asked us to try and illustrate the personality of the glyphs in our final designs. For my sanserif, Neue Haas Grotesk design I illustrated the stability and cleanliness of this font through the use of vertical and horizontal lines, right angles, and roughly equal amounts of black to white for balance. The Stemple Garamond composition has more curves, diagonals, and very few right angles that present a more soft and attractive composition with a humanistic feel. These are characteristics that Stemple Garamond Roman exemplifies itself. These compositions exemplify how subtle changes can affect the message being portrayed to the audience.
