Project 2...Some Details

So I'm lacking behind on the projects because of the insane amount of OT I've been having to pull at work, and also because I had a Lasik procedure done this past Saturday which rendered me useless all weekend to get any work done. I know, I know, excuses excuses, but I promise to catch up, because I do want to do the work.

I read the article by Karel Martens and I STOLE the line "Design determines the quality of our common life", and decided to do a poster based on that, I'll discuss it further in class but here are some images for my concept.

Update on the Type Specimen book

Well, I attempted a redo. I looked at misprintedtype.com as Gen suggested. Found some cool typefaces. I got a little discouraged when I read the e-mail saying

"i'm not looking to see a lot of funky fonts that can only be used once in a design career,"

which I completely agree, but then thought that "classic" fonts might not fit the ambience that "Taxi Driver" projects. So my idea is up in the air now. Perhaps I should rethink the text of my book.

Below is an idea I thought of for text type. Since I choose the text from the movie that was being narrated from his journal, I ripped pieces of paper, scanned them and placed the images behind some text type.
