New Brief

For your next brief you will all be given a song title. You are then to typeset the lyrics to your song in the typeface you were assigned last week. You are to compose the text on an A3 piece of paper then blow it up to A0 size at Microfilm Digital Print on Victoria Street. You are to consider the look and personality of your typeface as well as the intent and feeling associated with the lyrical and musical content of the song. Consider tone, weight, colour, positive and negative space when composing your A3 page. Also be aware that the balance of the composition may change when you blow it up to A0. The final works will be Black and White.

Your song titles are…

Grace – Futura  vs  ‘My Generation’ – The Who

Sophie – Caslon  vs  ‘Fight The Power’ – Public Enemy

Johanna – Helvetica  vs  ‘That’s Alright Mama’ – Elvis

Rosalee – Bodoni  vs  ‘Chocolate Jesus’ – Tom Waits

Melissa – Sabon  vs  ‘Isis’ – Bob Dylan

Han – Garamond  vs  ‘Cut Your Hair’ – Pavement

Rachael – Univers  vs  ‘Roadrunner’ – The Modern Lovers

Ella – Gill Sans  vs  ‘State Trooper’ – Bruce Springsteen

Edwin – Baskerville  vs  ‘Runaround Sue’ – Dion

Chloe – Avant Garde  vs  ‘Sign O’ The Times’ – Prince

 

Your finished A0 compositions are to be completed by Tuesday 12 May and displayed on the wall of the Studio. They are to remain up for a week.
