Typography...

  • I really wanted the text to have a printed feel to it.
  • I had initially wanted to lino cut the text, and use similar line to quality to details within in the face, to match them nicely.
  • I decided against this idea, with the time I had it was more appropriate to work with a computer font.
  • The lino cut text could take away visual qualities from the face if it wasn't executed properly.
  • So i decided to work with a simple helvetica font, and see how I could apply printed textures to it. 
  • I got some high quality printed textures off google images to work with.
  • I wanted it to match the face nicely, so wanted to involve the same colours, I coloured picked the colours from the face to get them exact.
  • I had initially though about having one word black, one word pink, but after messing around with texture on photoshop I preferred the look of pink texture on top of black, consistently across the whole thing.
  • I think the texture works well on the type, the rough texture contrasts with simple easy to read helvetica.

  • This is the final text i'm going to use
  • I wanted texture chopped out of the text as well so that you could see the background through it.
  • I spent a while trying to overlay texture and cut out away the appropriate sections, but I then found it easier to used a textured pre-set eraser and rub out differnt areas, and create some finer texture by decreasing the brush size.
  • I then separated the words "The mysterious mind of...", "Aldous" and 'Huxley" so that I could move them at different rates and make them enter the frame differently.
