Welcome to my Typography Case Studies

St. Thomas Magazine

Client: Spa targeted towards adults
Used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign to crop my Pexels images and to align my text.
Made drink into vector image after cropping in Photoshop.
Cut Spa image in Photoshop and masked using masking tool into a circle.
Placed images on the corners to not distract from background and text.
Added outer glow to headline to make it pop against the background.
Warped bottom text to flow with the waves in the background.

Client: Author
Lucida Sans headline for easy reading and also to give a NASA magazine feel.
Bodoni MT in red italic for the subheadings to give an ominous, scary look to the text.
I chose red and white fonts because they both contrast well against the black.
Used Adobe InDesign to kern text and align text side by side for easy reading.
Used rulers to make even negative space and to separate text boxes.
Added star background from Pexels along with the planets.
The planets I cropped in Adobe Photoshop by removing the white background and brightened the contrast.

Objective: Make a silhouette of a musician using one font.
Created using Adobe Illustrator to make a black and white trace using the image trace tool.
Used trace outline to fill in areas with her song lyrics, musicals, and tv shows.
Made contrast using Segoe Script in both bold and light fonts in black and grey.
Used the line type tool and type segment tool to warp text to fit in each area.
Font in different sizes to eliminate unwanted space.
Face is lighter to add emphasis against her dark hair.

Objective: Make a poster using one font and add the history of the font in order of importance.
Used InDesign for alignment and visual hierarchy.
Font chosen was Segoe Script in both bold and regular forms.
Heading is a size 102pt in bold with a 10pt thick border and kerned text about 50pt to read across the poster.
In my final edits I decided to add some color to make it more visually appealing.
