FMP - Contrasted Architecture
Yet again illustrator helped me to neaten my work and turn it digital, so I could use it on possible future work.
As well as just making digital copies of the letters, I looked at the shapes they had been cut out from, which actually were interesting themselves, they could be even more interesting used on their own away from the letters, as shape is something I was looking at once in my project.
I wanted to create a layered look to the typeface, therefore added the solid shapes outline as well. This gave it an overall more 'busier' effect, which I really like, yet again the outline shapes could be useful to use separately from the lettering.
Colours are something I wanted to experiment with. The inspiration for these colours came from some buildings I photographed myself, in Sheffield, see below. I also wanted to experiment with putting the letters in to a word, therefore simply used the word architecture, however if I decide to somehow use this font within my project in the future I can experiment more with words and possibly sentences.
The turquoise/blue is such a lovely colour, and isn't something that is seen on many buildings, therefore I thought I would experiment using it myself. The coral/peachy/red colour on this other building is something I wanted to experiment with. Using these colours as a colour palette actually worked quite nicely.
