This week we're taking our research and recordings from the previous week to begin creating an illustrative typography for our local area taking into account history, social context and the future of the area.

This week, it's my aim to really spend time working on the app that is accompanying the subscription box. I've been looking into fonts for apps - I'd initially used Lobster and Krub fonts as these were well matched in terms of aesthetic. However, upon further research I realised that Lobster was perhaps to flamboyant… Continue reading Week 10 – Workshop Challenge & Reflection
