IXD102 ( 30250 ) - Introduction to Communication Design. 2022-23.
This week we had a group discussion on our selected favourite type specimen screen.
I chose this screen as I preferred its layout over any of my other designs. There is a clear hierarchy and I appreciate its playfulness (fitting with the Palatino font) but also its cohesiveness.
After choosing the design above to be critiqued, the feedback received was very positive. There was an appreciation for the mixed sizing of the title, with a particular focus on the 9 cutting into the 4. The hierarchy of the title, subtitle, along with description was also highlighted at the class review, as I was told that although that structure is standard, I had used it in a constructive way which complimented my overall design.
There were additional comments made on my other designs. The first design was complimented for its minimalistic approach that showcased the font’s unique details. The second poster was complimented for its time-consuming design and content-bordered structure, not forgetting the smiley face seen within the Palatino title.
