Typography: Music Philosophy
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010/03/music-philosophy.html
Wednesday, 31 March 2010. First saw the work of this guy on the Urban Outfitters blog and I immediately had to find more! Designer Mico Tolendo uses music lyrics to create these great typographic posters, each usually having some sort of philosophical message! Makes you definitely think and appreciate song lyrics more when they are set out this way with their meaning emphasized. Here are some of my favourites. Http:/ www.musicphilosophy.co.uk.

Typography: Legibility
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010/02/legibility.html
Wednesday, 24 February 2010. What's the use of being legible when nothing inspires you to take notice of it? However, it was the introduction of the Apple Mac in 1984 that was the catalyst for completely changing, breaking and redefining the rules of typography. Type got a lot more experimental, loose and messy, breaking away from the strict structure of the Swiss grid, and the restrictions of letterpress.

Typography: January 2010
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 January 2010. Philosophy of Modernism in Typography. These are notes from some reading I have done from an article by Douglas C. McMurtrie. The underlying principle of new design is that "Form follows function". Symmetrical Layout is not Effective. If lines are centred on a median axis, significance falls in the centre of the lines. It also brings the eye to a centre of rest which interrupts the movement across the type. Ornamentation in excluded in Modern typography. Thursday, 28 January 2010.

Typography: Essay Plan
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010/02/essay-plan.html
Sunday, 28 February 2010. Hand Drawn Typography- Fad or the future? Look at hand drawn type in the context of the history of typography. All typography begun with handwriting before moving onto letterpress. This made knowledge and information easily transferrable, made hand drawn type unnecessary. Created speed and consistency in typography, something you didn’t have before. Led to strict structure and rules in typography, Swiss style, grid etc. Form, Function, Neutrality. What do they like about it?

Typography: iQ Font
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010/02/iq-font.html
Wednesday, 24 February 2010. Have just found this interesting piece of typography back from July 2009 in an archive of Dirty Mouse. Really interesting way of creating typography, which also relates back to Monday's lecture on creating typography within a place- with driving instead of walking! Incredible planning must have gone into this, and some very skillful driving! Here's the video of how they made it. IQ font - When driving becomes writing / Full making of.

Typography: The Girl Effect
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010/03/girl-effect.html
Monday, 29 March 2010. A simple, striking piece of film using just typography to portray a charity named The Girl Effect. The campaign is encouraging viewers to donate money to various schemes aimed specifically at girls in third world countries to help them create a better life for them, their families and their community.

Typography: Neutrality
http://ali-typography.blogspot.com/2010/02/neutrality.html
Thursday, 18 February 2010. This poster, designed by Craig Ward, perfectly sums up this lecture topic. Following on from my previous blog on Modernism, we have been looking at the issue of neutrality in typography. Modernism is all about form following function. The function of typography is to be read, therefore nothing in the form of the typography should detract from this. Economical - problems can be solved in less time and for less money when using the grid. Http:/ gmunch.home.pipeline.c...Hello eve...
