DES618: TYPOGRAPHY I DANIEL C. WIGGINS T Y PO GR A PH Y I » TO M D O L L E PR AT T INS TITUTE » FALL 20 09
NEIGHBORHOODS OF TYPE The neighborhoods of New York are diverse and rich with character. This character can be seen in the buildings, the shops and restaurants, the public space and the people who make the neighborhood what it is. In this assignment, I explored four neighborhoods: Times Square, Central Park, Soho and Williamsburg (Brooklyn). I made observations about the mood, pulse, visual attributes and overall impressions of each area. Once the essence of the neighborhood was captured, I looked through magazines to find examples of common typographic letterforms that represent the qualities of that neighborhood. The typography was limited to several letters and cut out, scanned and/or copied from magazine covers, ads or layouts. The letterforms convey the aspects I have identified through their visual attributes alone-this isn’t about words, but merely letterforms and the feelings they evoke.
WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN
SOHO, NEW YORK CITY
CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY
TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY
COMPOSITION: Composition is the organization or grouping of the different parts of a work of art so as to achieve a unified whole. Although typographic composition utilizes the same basic compositional concepts that are part of all visual arts, there are unique ways that typography relates to each of these concepts. By forming relationships between the elements, and incorporating visual concepts in abstract ways, a new and more open relationship with typography is achieved. Shown on the following pages, the exploration of typographic composition started with simple elements--three letterforms-and became a process of identifying abstract concepts as they became visualized. Additional elements were added each week, and new relationships evolved as we explored positive/negative, texture and image use.
CONCEPTS OF COMPOSITION: SCALE SIZE BALANCE TENSION HARMONY
CONTRAST CONTEXT MEANING FOCUS FORM
STRUCTURE DIRECTION RHYTHM COLOR DEPTH
DETAIL TEXTURE DRAMA
LETTERFORM COMPOSITIONS These compositions feature three letters from the alphabet, set in any of the following typefaces: Helvetica, Univers, Futura, Garamond, Times Roman, Century, Baskerville and/ or Bodoni. By using size, scale, spacial relationships, bleeds and positioning as the variables, I created six compositions using only the three letterforms. The final compositions are 8.5�x 8.5� (standard format throughout).

LETTERFORMS + WORDS Keeping the three letters from the previous assignment, I have now included three words. The words do not have to have any particular meaning or association with each other. Each letter and word is set in one of the following typefaces: Helvetica, Univers, Futura, Garamond, Times Roman, Century, and/or Bodoni. Using only the three letters and three words, I created the following compositions.

LETTERFORMS + ELEMENTS Starting with the same three letters and three words from the previous assignments, I am now adding some text and a graphic element. I am setting the text in one of the approved typefaces from before, adjusting the leading, column width, type size, etc. to achieve different results. As abstract compositions, it is not necessary that the text or other typographic elements be readable. I also included graphic elements: lines, circles, triangles or squares in any size or configuration, either solid or outlined. Screens of black could be employed, white type could be used, and structure was to be considered.

COMPOSITION + TEXTURE Positive/negative is the relationship between figure and ground. Are there black elements on a white ground, or white elements on a black ground? Does the ground interchange from black to white? Just making a composition negative does not deal with those issues. Texture is the ability to render type in ways other than just hard edge black and white. Combining hand effects (drawing, painting), machined effects (photocopying, scanning), computer effects (Photoshop, Illustrator) and/or accidental effects (spills, crumples, rips) allows you to define type in unusual and unique ways-challenging you to see it differently. Typography exists in our world in many forms - this was an opportunity to explore non-traditional representations of typographic form. Starting with the same three letters, three words and text used in the last assignments, I incorporated positive/negative and texture as major design components. Graphic elements were optional.

COMPOSITION + IMAGE The final addition to the compositional process was the incorporation of an image. With the same three levels of typography--letters, words and text--an image of a simple object was introduced to the mix. The image could be cropped, silhouetted, texturized or changed in other ways in the course of creating the compositions. Texture could now be a part of the image, or continue as a separate element. Positive/negative, graphic elements and structure could be incorporated as needed. The resulting compositions are still abstract, but hint at the richness that can be incorporated into even the simplest realistic project. The complex relationships between typographic elements and the concepts of scale, balance, focus, etc. are all exhibited in these engaging works that become expressive works of art and communicate on multiple levels.

IN MY OWN WORDS: As I look back at this semester, I can’t help to think about how everything changed week to week. When I started these compositions, I assumed they would be easy, and take minimal effort. I’d already taken a typography class in undergrad, so this would only be review. (Or so I thought). To my surprise, I still had a lot to learn. At first, I was set on only using serif letters and words. A few compositions in, I saw how limiting this was. I grew to appreciate the contrast between typographic forms. I also have a tendency to blow everything up large. Many of my early compositions were too bold, graphic, and lacked scale variation. Towards the end, I tired to add more levels of typography, and created contrast with scale, something I found to be very effective. I also discovered how much I love Bodoni’s bold faces. I think these compositions truly speak of my aesthetic, and point of view as a designer. In the end though, I’m happy I reached a middle ground, between designing solely what I wanted, and trying something new. I think it’s clear to see my work is all the better for it.
