Work in Progress*

A reader suggested creating the logo as a pure bold logo type. Here I re-worked my existing design, even changing some letter forms to make the composition feel more comfortable. I am pleased with the final outcome, as an identity it does stand out - bold is beautiful. The diagonal vectors worked well, but as an identity it appeared a little washed out. It may even be worth trying to combining both styles just to cancel that option out too.

The typeface was based on the font used by ‘Self-Service‘ Mag.

I want to share a really inspirational link with my readers. I came across this blog earlier today whilst hunting for the name of a typeface used by the french magazine ‘Self Service.’

A blog by Ryan G. Nelson’s called Making Known.
“This is a sometimes daily blog about graphic design, typography, books, film and some other randomness.”

The posts themselves explore work which other design blogs may not broach on such a deep level; makes for good reading.

Here is just one examples of how Ryan G. Nelson has incorporated his love of, what appears to be, classical films into his own design works:

Although i adore black and white, i find the appeal of neon colours invigorating. So fresh and modernistic, i aim to explore this further through photographic methods and hope to progress into some typographic work.

Experimentation for my new website header.

I would like the graphic and headline, ‘a reflection of self,’ to visual appear as if it is moving in a sense of reflection - subtly - without using technology but a strong researched structure giving the impression of ‘magic eye.’

Below are pieces of experimentation. Currently researching works by Bridget Riley.

Another experiment, are the lines sloping?
