I thought i would make a typographic poster. When thinking about which font to use, Helvetica came to mind.
Helvetica is a great font, and when used correctly can make just about anything look good.
It is many graphic designers favourite typeface, but not mine. My favourite (for the moment) is Century Gothic: based on 'Monotype Twentieth Century', a really pleasant looking geometric font.
As a little graphic 'in-joke' I decided to comment on Comic-Sans.
No such thing as a bad font, just bad usage of. (So I read somewhere).
**N.B as this has gained a mild amount of attention recently, i have reworked the original, clearing up some hideous tracking and kerning issues.**
Set in Century Gothic bold, 100pt. Manual alignment.
I sometimes feel that Century Gothic, and similar fonts that I believe have 'leasing aesthetics' are overlooked because of how easy Helvetica has made things for us.
I feel alot better about the poster now i've spent the time fixing the tracking. The other fonts i'm quite keen on are Baskerville, and Century Schoolbook both of which don't appear to be on my new computer!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
