term project: styles.
First and foremost I believe the font or typeface used in a design or presentation is one of the most important aspects. A clean/neat font used consistently throughout the presentation or piece will tie the whole thing together and make your point come across much clearer.
This is a blog/website about the design process of creating a good font, and also their applications.
I recently saw a documentary film entitled "Helvetica" and found it immensely interesting. I have always been interested in typefaces and clean design, and been unbeknownst to me, a huge fan of the Helvetica font. I highly recommend seeing this film as you will be amazed at how something as seemingly insignificant as a font has made it's way into our subconscious and has become something we take for granted. The film isn't as boring as it sounds and is actually a beautifully shot and edited film about design in general.
I intend to use some of the design techniques presented in this film to get our point across as simply as possible without all the distractions.
