Typography
Thin Typeface Jimmothy
Rounded Typeface Jimmy
Block Typeface Jim
'Jimmy' is a typeface I created for a University project. This assignment required us to use any inspiring materials to help create a typeface of our own. I explored the shapes and colours associated with alphabet cubes for my typeface. I wanted to incorporate the objects physical, block form, primary colour scheme and slight curvaceous features into my own alphabet and 'Jimmy' was what I came up with.
This next typography project asked me to create and display my assigned letter as a sculpture, in a video or on a poster. I was given the capital letter A. After much exploring, I landed on the standing man. Its graphical structure portrays a sense of stability with the crossbar reinforcing its strength, and its symmetrical nature and upside triangle shape represented balance and reason for the Ancient Greek Gods. My physical output is a human standing on its own two feet. The sculpture’s wide-legged stance and simple structure emphasise its grounded nature and give it a powerful sense of being.
