Graphic Design / Quotes essay

Font used: Caslon

Quote: “There is no sincerer love than the love of food.” – George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw, a writer to many forms of literature (poems, short stories). Born in 1856, he lived through a hugely revolutionary era and died in 1950. He received a Nobel prize for his works, which he wanted to strongly reject, this shows the status Shaw reached with success. One of his works ‘Man & Superman’, a play published in 1903 held the given quote “There is no sincerer love than the love of food”.

Many fonts, ideas were suited to the quote, but Shaw was known to ask for his works to be written specifically in the Caslon font. Created by William Caslon in 1722, his font was widely used.  It’s a clear Serif typeface, an easy choice for a simple classy look.

Caslon is a widely recognised font and for whatever reason I know more on it than other fonts, I was lucky to be given Shaw’s quote, to then find out he preferred Caslon for his published works. However I think there are other more practical fonts out there that are easy on the eyes and readers.

NEW. THIRD IDEA.
Inspired by DADA and it's use of text. 

Cut outs. Stuck on.Composition

Varied fonts, and sizes.

Having had feedback on this piece, I realized I went about it in the wrong way.

And missed the key point of the brief that it should not take the form of an image.

 

Taking the constructive text to a digital platform.

The quote repeatedly typed out. Highlighted red to represent the love in the quote.

Idea 1 developed further. Using the chosen font of CASLON, Neater representation of the constructive text.

Idea 2

 

Initial Ideas. Text as representational imagery

Inspirations ; Calligrams

Constrcuted texts.
