Completed my typographic project and displayed it ready for our crit in the morning. I am happy with the results and the underlying concept i think is strong although following print there were some fundamental errors that will need to be corrected before hand-in.
1> The reflection on the bottom of the poster under each letter does not look crisp and detracts from the clean crisp image. This was suited to on-screen rather than flat print
2> Technical error which i have come across before - i used a different black in photoshop for the image to the black i used in indesign for the black background and because the two black values didn't match there is slight difference in the colours which is obvious when printed out. Black should always be absolute: 0,0,0.
My postcard shown here is effective. The stencil spells 'Love Me' from the front. This has two meanings - on a postcard you write 'Love from me' and Helvetica is famously either loved or hated so it's asking - Love me. I wanted to use this stencil and spray it in random places so show its application.
Also by cutting out the shapes it gave me appreciation for the craftsmanship that was needed to create the typeface in the first place.
