advert from work, i really like the type

I Drew Something.......

So I was looking for more typefaces and decided I wanted to try an ultra heavy face. I want to use the heavy face because it will allow me to play with the overprinting. But I couldn't really find anything I liked, one thing led to another and I made this typeface. It's only uppercase and no numbers yet unless I need them. I know this isn't anything original or amazing but I figured drawing it myself would make it a little special.

i made two versions

Regular:

Simplified:




I put them into my hierarchy study. I think this second one looks best. Overall I think it all works well together....? But maybe not, and suggestions on some other possible faces that will work with what I have drawn?


I wanted to call the book "MADE IN" two possible covers:

Hierarchy

This is helping. This first one is my favorite so far— Interstate Hairline: Archer Bolf Italic: Letter Gothic.

I'd like to work on some more but any omments would help beore.

specy

I spent all day looking though typefaces. I went through all the ones on the blog and decided to do some type specimen sheets. I know i shouldn't have laid out the display faces in blocks of copy, but you never know, and i wanted to keep the same template across everything. These were taking a lot longer then i thought so I've abandoned them for now and im just working on the hierarchy stuff with only typefaces im considering for the thesis book, as opposed to these which were just using typefaces I liked. Im working on the type hierarchy now and will post soon.

some photo spreads

Type...fixed?, I Hope.

Changed body Type

Changed it to Univers Light Condensed per suggestion.

pagination

Here is an article I found to use for my book.

This is the layout, it may change, I might have to add or subtract spread to make the book work
I was thinking about adding spreads using just my photos in between all the info graphics with just a small caption. This might break it up and make the book more interesting.

Revisited

So I changed it all up.
The other way wasn't working I needed some order.

—Added an intro page with my thesis
—Extended the "Sectors of the Economy" across 3 spreads.
—New Cost of living spread.
