Below is the second image I have produced for Fault.
White Lies was made from flour and dough.

The idea was to keep the surrounding space as white as possibly to allow easy application. I am going to re shoot the two entries, this and The Redwalls and see how they appear as titles with white space.

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:

Having a fond love of typography, I made an attempt at designing the logotype for the collaboration project myself and 14 other creatives are involved in, Creative Cumbria. All the creatives have the opportunity to add their own design for the project identity, this will help immensely with the projects self-promotion and for approaching exhibitors and venues.

The traditional newspaper headline meets a modern hand-rendered swash.

With much experimentation, i’ve concluded that the 2nd grid system is far more successful. Although i’m now considering whether or not the portfolio will work as a vertical reel - here is an example of the design below. The ‘about’ section does not seem to flow with the first reel entry, (covering the about section) the top section works rather well on it’s own.
