14 unusual punctuation marks

14 unusual punctuation marks


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.

Cd packaging

Some cd packaging that I owned, Cd's come in a variety of different packages, the ones I have photographed are more common packages. I am looking for something light weight, easily reproducible but at the same time can hold and protect a cd securely.

Fontsmith FS Blake

Similar to the kind of format that I am after. I need to think about how the information graphic pullout will fit into the supplement. If the different maps were to be overlayed on each other would it still be that affective if it was folded?
This was a booklet for Fontsmith FS Blake designed by Spin.

Basque

Ancestral language of the Basque people who inhabit the Basque country which is situated in north eastern Spain and south western France.




Basque has no official standing in the Northern Basque Country of France and French citizens are barred from officially using Basque in a French court of law. However, the use of Basque by Spanish nationals in French courts is allowed (with translation), as Basque is officially recognized on the other side of the border.

Macro Micro Typography

Just a quick flick through Typography: Macro and Microaesthetics: Fundamentals of Typographic Design  to get a bit of inspiration. Some interesting pages on contrast in type and layout exercises, these are things to consider and experiment with for briefs 3 and 4.
