Design Principles, Manipulating Type


One of our tasks were to manipulate some of the letters we had brought in, in any way. We could add to them or take away. I brought a Roman font in, Times New Roman. So I chose to cut the heavier line down to create a more even line weight throughout the letters.

Maniupulating type by hand really helps to get an idea of how you want to look before you put it on the computer. This way you have quite a lot of freedom to play around with the letterform before you decide if it will work or not.
