Type 3: Typeface Analysis

Tyoe 3: Risographs

My speech design first started out with unconsidered type and abstract designs that did not do a very great job at conveying the entirety of the speech.   Then I made this new poster that I thought incorporated the anger of the speech, but ultimately made the design feel to clustered and not designed well. Then I started to actually view the patterns of her movements and used lines of type to convey sharp and fluid movements she makes across the stage. Then I took keywords and made them stand out in different phrases that really emulated the speech. Here is my final risograph print:

Type Critique: Kelsey Mack

Critique on Kelsey Mack's type project: Instantly the waves of type grabbed my attention. Some waves stay consistent throughout the piece, all forming the same waves through each line of type. Some of the words are changed to a different typeface, which some are very successful in pulling out information like the word Kremlin 's scale and bold typeface instantly draws my attention there. There are some issues with letter spacing, like the word "Kremlin" the r and e are very close together which i'm sure is because of the curve it sits on but kerning could have helped. Some of the shifted typefaces / scale of type overlaps other type, creating irregular spacing - i'm not sure if that is a right design decision because these hefty holes in the body feel erratic. Some work well though, the  "oh" covers up the text above nicely. Curvilinear lines aren't exact, for example the spiral on the bottom seems to have ridges in it, not a nice smooth curve
