research





my last brief involve working in a group to create a logo representing an event that is based on a location.
This logo is designed by Blast its considered as a very good logo because its adaptable and can be used flexibly as in the joined U to represent the word university and S for sussex create the word us which could be used in slogan and many other promotional material.
the joined letters gives the word more strength which impact the uni too. the typeface has been uniquely chosen to give functional and trust touch.

As part of the Live Brief, we have to design a booklet to promote the photography student.
I found this design while researching Edward Wright's work.

ahmed mustafa

 am interested in typography English and Arabic they both have completely  different characters.

while researching artist that are exploring the beauty of arabic type, I came a cross Ahmed Mustafa an egyptian artist. I am not in to his calligraphy(short religious phrases  in a shape of animals) but this particular design has the stencil touch in to it using the type as an image.  He layered the same word several time to give this style yet they look precise.

lefthand writting

i have chosen typography to explore in my second elective.

i found that one of the most common and easy way to experiment with creating a distinctive look typeface would be to write the alphabet by your left hand if you are right handed! ! !
