In all after many sheets of research i decided to take the magnifying glass font to
experimentation.
This showed all three of my words, as they link in to eachother very well.
I wanted to give the feeling of 'Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover'
this was shown with the magnifying glass, as when you look at something it remains what it is...
were as i wanted to give the feeling that you should look closer at things before you judge them.
My partner wasn't how i expected him to be at all, so i thought this would be a strong prejudice piece to proceed with.
In the crit i got told my letter B looked like glasses... to me this wasn't a great concern as
glasses do not contrast against intellects, glasses to me give people a aire of wisdom without
having anything to prove...
Another point made was that the font went off the subject and resembled a visual link to Sherlock Holmes (A famous fictional detective of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries).....
This to me is fuel for my concept.
If my font gives a feeling of sherlock holmes, an intelligent man who looked closer into mysteries to search and discover them (although fictional) almost the opposite to critasism?


In my letters i used 2 colours Black and Red.
Black - Main structure/detail
Red - Areas of the letter inside the magnfying glass to enlarge the detail in the Pt size of the font.
I used Redpurposely to show that the piece was being enlarged, i need to play around with colour though, Im going to stick to darker greys to black to give an idea of change.
In all i wanted a wise, safisticated kind of aperence for my font.
In comparison to the other type faces at the crit, i believe mine was the strongest
at achieving this.
However my font needs much more work and more manipulational experimenting to be carried out for a muchmore posative attraction.
