custom lettering submission
DESCRIPTION
Design development boards for the lettercult 2012 submissions. I doubt it will be shown on the blog, I never seem to win anything, or get any positive feedback.TRANSCRIPT
LETTERCULT TYPOGRAPHY BRIEF
The reference imagery I used to influence my design. I
wanted the design to have a very geometric look to it.
For this reason I chose to base the typography around
a rubix cube.
LETTERCULT TYPOGRAPHY BRIEF
“LIFE IS TOO SHORT TOO WORK SO HARD”
Above is the quote I will base my poster
on. I like it as a quote, always good to
have a reminder to stop working so hard.
I created a base alphabet for which the letters will later be based on.
I kept to 2D at the moment to speed up the process.
The lettering on 3D cubes. Each letter is placed on all three sides of
the cube.
LETTERCULT TYPOGRAPHY BRIEF
I refined the lettering, twisting certain parts of the cube to make the
typography look more dynamic.
I set the cubes in to the quote. At this point I could begin
experimenting with the layout.

LETTERCULT TYPOGRAPHY BRIEF
The first layout I made for the poster. The cubes are left hanging in
the isometric grid. They look a bit lonely in this poster, I began to
dislike the colours I used on the cubes. They looked a bit washed out,
and detracted from the digital feel I want the design to have.
I adjusted both the colour of the lettering on each cube, and the
background grid from which I constructed the objects. The above image is
the final design I will be submitting to the competition. The black marks
represent where the design will be cut, for this reason photographing a
printed poster will look a lot better.

The final poster can be seen on the left. The poster has been heavily
influenced by the work of DKNG Studios and Milton Glaser.FINALPOSTER
