In this task the objective was to first of all classify type and font types, and then demonstrate this knowledge by assessing and identifying type and fonts used in advertising and on product logos, packaging etcetera. I first created a booklet using InDesign on Type Classification. It started out as an OpenOffice document, but I soon realised that layout out pages in a document was going to be excessively difficult, so I decided to try my hand a InDesign instead, and after lot of messing about with font sizes, justification and image layout, I completed the booklet below:
After I had completed my booklet I carried on to researching, assessing and identifying fonts used in advertisements and products, I then carried on to compare movie posters starting with the current or remake posters and then the originals. It really was interesting to find out how many modern-teen movies are actually quite old and recycled!
