Typography 1 | Student Work

Student works included are those that most successfully answered the brief, had a unique
visual perspective, and/or demonstrated typographic proficiency.

The Restaurant: Project Overview

Students will design three TYPE-ONLY compositions/deliverables for a fictional restaurant. Thinking typographically and systematically, students will consider hierarchy, composition, message intent, and context.

Visual Constraints

Utilize only typographic elements to create the designs (letters and glyphs)
2-color Palette (plus black, white, and transparency)
Maximum of two typefaces from the allowed list (one serif, one sans)

Design Brief Generator

Students will complete an in-class exercise to generate a randomized 5-element design brief for a unique restaurant. (ex; My client is an all day brunch spot in Charleston, SC serving street-style tacos with a retro 1980s style. The poster will announce an upcoming holiday event.)
