OUD504 - Guidebook - Playing with Colour and Type


After sampling the colour swatches from the images I wanted to put them together with my chosen type to see how they worked together.

I started by simply placing 'modbrut' over coloured blocks and changing the typeface colour.




I have chosen to use a wide kerning as it again reinforces the idea that the large concrete structures have a strong presence within their settings.



I liked the baby blue swatch the best and felt it looked really effective with the pure white text placed on top. I played around with the fill and outline of the text to see how this would change the aesthetic.




I started to create a small piece of editorial work to see how things would look together. I incorporated one of the images to see how the text would work alongside it - I really liked how they looked together.

I'm also quite a fan of the outlined text in a repeated formation as displayed above - I feel this looks effective and appropriate for the theme and works well with the particular typeface.
