FINIAL
For this first design, I used the letters q, b, p, d, e, m, a, o, and g. My inspiration at first was a mandala, but later on, I shaped it as an abstract sun shining. I learned that the typeface can change the whole appearance of a design, whether it has serifs or not or if it’s a more graphic font that might be better for some projects. But slight changes such as the thickness of a line or the width of it, can make a design look totally different. The parts you use can also affect this type of design because using the bigger or the thinnest part of a letter, even though it could have the same elements (such as the “E” just 4 lines), can change how the viewer perceives it.

Week 1 - Finial
Meet Darrell!
Darrell is a very handsome young man. He is shown here holding a beautiful flower.
The type principles I used for this exercise include visual hierarchy and effective negative space. Visual hierarchy is implemented by using a centred composition and making the main subject (the character) larger than the secondary subject (the flower). Effective negative space is used most effectively in the margins and within and surrounding the facial features. I have become more familiar with the base typographical anatomy of letters and the specific terminology used because of this exercise. I chose this design because I have made a goal for myself to have more fun with my school work, and this design allowed me to do that. I chose this font because it has defined anatomical parts, and I chose a serif font to add more dimension and movement to my design.
Darrell is made up of 10 different letter parts!
The stem of the uppercase letter "F"
The bowl of the uppercase letter "D"
The arm of the uppercase letter "K"
The leg of the uppercase letter "K"
The ear of the lowercase letter "g"
The counter of the lowercase letter "o"
The tittle of the lowercase letter "j"
The cross stroke of the lowercase letter "t"
The descender of the lowercase letter "y"
The spine of the uppercase letter "S"
