HEADFIRST // Logo Design

This is one of the pieces of network branding I had the chance to develop, similar to Witness Docs, under the Stitcher brand. Sadly we’ve been sun-setting these networks and integrating the shows into Stitcher Studios, but I’m very proud of the process and final logo that was developed for Headfirst.

The network was pitched as a place for fun and smart podcasts. And hopefully you’d learn something in the process! As usual, I started with thumbnails and a few different concepts then presented them to the team. We narrowed down a few different directions and I took to Adobe Illustrator to refine. I’m rather proud of each of these pieces and really wish I could’ve seen them on some cover art.

“1512”

[viscomgeorge]

This is my final poster design that displays my typeface. My aesthetic I wanted to focus on was a darker colour to make the 3D assets and the flat assets stand out. I used to word ‘adhesion’ to diplay the different types of letter forms within my typeface.

Within my poster design I placed a small information text box in the bottom right hand corner so the audience has a breif understanding of what I want my type face to convey. Sitting above this is the subtitle that has the name of my typeface.

Typography Toolkit Project

This is more a personal project goal but if anyone sees this and wants to join in and do something similar, you’re welcome to! GOAL: Establish a personal “toolkit” of fonts across the major groups of (Latin) typography. TASKS:

Look through font resources (Books, letraset books, resellers like myfonts or online libraries like google fonts or adobe fonts) [EDIT: I forgot about the top 100 lists from some foundaries - this handy one from FontShop has heaps of different lists for different things! https://www.fontshop.com/fontlists ]

Make a list of fonts that appeal to you. Not what’s popular, what makes your art brain go brrrrr.

Pick out a top 5, but keep the shortlist. It might come in handy.

**OPTIONAL: Set up template for index reference cards with standard Latin glyphs (Capitals, lower case, numbers, !@#$%^&*()+-? etc as applicable).

***OPTIONAL: Go through shortlisted fonts and determine list of adjectives that the font evokes (i.e. “Strong”, “Bold”, “Elegant”, etc)

WEEK 1: SERIF fonts. WEEK 2: SAN SERIF fonts. WEEK 3: SCRIPT fonts. WEEK 4: BLACKLETTER fonts.

NOTES: ** I found a bunch of reference cards while cleaning, and this seemed like a good way to put them to use! If I keep at it, I’ll try and share progress as I go. *** Trying to work out what fonts fit a particular mood is something I want to work on for hand-typography purposes so this is more a personal challenge than a requirement! • I left Display fonts out on purpose; they’re a whole beast of their own. If I manage to do the first four, I might try to come back and do a Display-specific version?
