Purpose: So, seeings I'm more than a little bit rusty... and been on a design kick lately, I felt like it was about time I challenged myself to do something new to bring my skills back up to par. This is the first of those challenges.

------

Background: Basically, the idea was to create an informational poster for a typeface using a limited range of colours (there's three here, simply because I couldn't get the Pantone mix I wanted) and only typographical elements. In this case, I opted to use the following characters to form the basis of the background: m, a, R, {, all in 55 Roman weight (excepting the m, which was in 75 Bold to allow more room). Also, I made sure to only use variants of Neue Helvetica (55 Roman [+ Italic], 57 Roman Condensed, 65 Medium, and 75 Bold). Body copy is taken directly from the aforementioned website.

------

Job spec: 3 Colour Pantone spot, 30"x40" @ 300dpi for gloss stock

------

Others in the series: Type Study - Comic Sans MS, Type Study - AdobeGaramondPro

Hey Ben, can you explain to me what a type study is?

There is more to being a decent critic than saying you like or hate something. Challenge yourself to say which things you like about something you are judging/doing a critique on, or what about it you don't.

Be as organic as possible. As this series progressed I found I was trying to emulate this particular piece and it lost the magic I had originally. Don't force it and it'll work out a lot better for you.
