OUGD504 - Guidebook - Typographic Experimentation


Following some further research, I began looking into different typefaces that would be suitable for the publication and its audience.



Using the title of the publication, 'green', I started playing around with different ways this title could be interpreted/represented.

I experimented with a variety of different styles from a bold sans-serif to a more flowing, script style with elaborate serifs.

I found that many of them worked for their own different reasons, whilst many didn't!

To help me decide, I coloured all the text in green as this is how it will probably appear on the front cover.



After doing this, I whittled my favourites down to 5 key typefaces:

Lust Script;




Variex OT;




Cocon Pro;




Market Pro;




HWT Arabesque;



I feel like each of these typefaces would work with the publication for their own different reasons, so therefore I am going to speak to Cat and some of my peers and get their opinion on it to help me decide.
