Project 2: Expressive Words

  • What did you learn?

I learned a bit more about words and how fonts can impact words. I also learned how to stylize words in a unique way.

  • What was easy?

I had a vision of what I wanted out of the final poster from the start. I created the poster very close to what I had originally envisioned, even without knowing the final design of the lettering.

My original vision was very similar to this, but I had the moon in the middle of the poster, along with the lettering. I decided it looks better this way, and it represents the show better. The “Edgerunners” want to eventually get to the moon, yet they are weighed down by the “cyberpunk” society.
  • What was challenging?

Coming up with a specific design that represented the show. I had a cool idea based on one of the main character’s abilities in the show, but it didn’t fit the idea of the project well enough. I then created one I felt represented the show while also fitting the project.

A design based on the main character’s special ability to go incredibly fast, leaving a trail of echoes behind him. These would have been colored red, green, and blue had I gone through with it as the final design.
  • How could your submission be improved?

This is one of the few projects where everything came out as I had wanted. There is likely room for improvement, but I’m very happy with the end result.

  • How can the professor improve the assignment in the future?

This project went by fairly quickly. I would’ve liked an extra day to refine some work.

  • How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

Understanding how a font doesn’t have to say everything in text. The design can say just as much as the font, if not more. Understanding that and using that for future scenarios will help me in the future.
