Week of the 13th May – Independent Study
Moving forward from the sketches I created my first digital mock up. Unfortunately, I didn’t have all my work at the time so I decided to leave it out and simply focus on my layouts and elements that build up my portfolio.
I looked at the fonts and experimented with very digital styles that I liked almost 80’s digital gaming style compared to the over the top curvy scripted fonts. Through this I decided that I needed to find something that represented my style, being a very simple and to the point digital font.The typeface I most like is Letter Gothic Std, which is sans serif almost oval style that I prefer when all the letters are capitalised, making the simple font bolder.
When looking at the mood board I created a colour pallet that matched my original thoughts and sketches. However, when using the colours within the design they didn’t match up quite right and was very over baring. To over come this I dulled down oranges to a baby pink and softened the greys to be lighter. I also realised that the text didn’t look right as a colour so I added black for a more mature look.
