Hewetika

A similar project to what I am doing voidwreck has created Hewetika which is a variation of Helvetica but it focuses on a few of the letters and they have been redesigned. The W, A, K and 0 have been changed to create a variation of the typeface Helvetica. Designed by Void Wreck.

Some interesting formats and layouts that I could use to present the typeface(s) in the publication.

Some of the less used punctuation marks. It is interesting to see what they are used for and how they could be used within a body of writing and design work. I am not going to create these glyphs for my typeface as I would like to look further at this area for my FMP, exploring this and the structure of language, signs symbols and punctuation.

Primarily the type will be designed for bike frames but I have liked the idea of having the potential to make the type into a 3d format, this could be for an exhibition, even or signage. Signage system and interior design adidas Laces 2011 from büro uebele visuelle kommunikation.

Found type

What I want to steer clear of is this kind of thing, found type and making letter forms out of objects.

Bianchi bike parts

Slight deviation to the subject matter of the brief I was thinking of looking at bicycles and the various components of a bike and use this as a starting point to create a typeface. I was thinking of the practical/ context in which the typeface could be applied and thought that it could possibly used as the type that is printed on a range of bike frames which could be a display text in publications, potential for bike shop signage, the scope is vast.
