I like that the letters look hand-written as if someone took chalk or pastel and scratched it on the cover. What's nice about it is that it still looks professional and clean.]]> 2022-09-16 02:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299305632 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299310529 This text is the cover to a bottle of Tajin pepper seasoning. Considering the contents of the seasoning, it makes sense to include peppers in the style of the text. Both the J and I letters have that effect and it immediately gives that idea in a subtle way. Another small detail that I like is how the N stretches around like seasoning over the other letters while maintaining the visual style.]]> 2022-09-16 02:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299310529 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299316888 This is a book cover of a young-adult fiction book, a rough translation of it's English name, "Leah on the Offbeat." I think it works well because the story is somewhat grungy and dramatic. The thin, slightly misplaced lines have the effect of something you'd find written on a bathroom stall. Very in-character.]]> 2022-09-16 02:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299316888 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299321629 Sharpie is a well-known writing tool brand. The font being bold and in cursive is exactly what you'd expect from something meant for writing, especially in permanent marker. The letters feel strong, and the lines crossing over and ending, like on the letters H and R for example, give the effect that it was written by hand in short strokes. ]]> 2022-09-16 03:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299321629 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299325071 This text was taken from a Hozier album cover I have. Hozier is a music artist that mostly plays in folk music with a lot of emotion and harsh energy at times. The feeling of the text definitely reflects the music. The elongated and scratchy lines are reminiscent of a forest full of leaves and sticks. It almost creates a lonely feeling with the amount of negative space there.]]> 2022-09-16 03:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299325071 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299331807 This text was taken from a water-powered rowing machine. The letters look very sturdy and strong since they take up about as much space as a square and are very bold. The space in between them is also comfortable and gives the feeling that something could flow between them. This works considering the water aspect of the machine. The little dot above the S does feel a bit out of place for me, but I understand that it's probably meant to make the letter double as a stick person.]]> 2022-09-16 03:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2299331807 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309092251 I got to see Wicked last week so I snagged a picture of the logo. The typeface is very bold and the serifs give it a refined quality. It reflects the setting of the story which is partly in university and in Oz. Plus the bold white standing out against the dark background does give a feeling like a thriller.]]> 2022-09-22 16:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309092251 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309106610 This is taken from a water bottle. Remi Wolf is an indie music artist that has a lot of upbeat, funk energy mixed with pop. Her visual aesthetic is very psychadelic and colorful, so I think this text works well. It's simple, but the bold and rounded strokes have a easy to read silhouette that fits in any bright and chaotic environment. Plus it allows for the doodles in the same style to fit very well.]]> 2022-09-22 16:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309106610 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309112714 This is an old book cover I have. The book is about an alien invasion and a teenage girl's journey to rescue her brother that was taken by the military. The typeface of the title looks ominous with the tall and thin strokes and stems. The lack of curves in each letter also adds to this feeling.]]> 2022-09-22 16:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309112714 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309123306 This is the cover of an Orla Gartland EP. I'm assuming that the typeface used is supposed to give a similar feeling of freckles on your skin. Every letter being lowercase is a must, but also the wide space in between each letter makes a big difference. The style of font is fairly simple with mostly straight lines. That paired with the square x-height makes for a good freckle feeling haha]]> 2022-09-22 16:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2309123306 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342064302 This text is from a workout machine in my room. Besides the logo below, I wouldn't have guessed that the text is for the gym, but the boldness is useful at the very least. The words look loud and indestructible.]]> 2022-10-16 18:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342064302 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342066164 This is from an album cover! I think the text looks exactly like something you would find on a stamp. I'm not sure the name of the font, but it looks very familiar with this sort of thing. Also the use of the ampersand was a good design choice with the theme in mind. It has an official look and feel.]]> 2022-10-16 18:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342066164 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342068050 There is a lot of fonts happening here, but I'd like to say that they all blend and work with each other very nicely. Everything looks custom, handmade, and somewhat tropical, especially the font used for "Maui."]]> 2022-10-16 18:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342068050 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342070944 I'm going to be focusing on the font for the title of this game here. I think that it does well in communicating something scary, but official (if that's the right word?). The text is reminiscent of words/numbers on hotel room doors. Also the sharp horizontal lines placed on the text, especially in place of the cross bar on some letters really gives the feel of something scratched up and spooky.]]> 2022-10-16 18:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342070944 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342079089 This is taken from the front of my calendar book. The numbers were confusing to me until I realized it's for both 2022 and 2023. Some sort of distinction in between the numbers would help a bit in this situation. There is also a part where the bowl of the 3 is cut off, the extra length of the line there feels a bit awkward to me.]]> 2022-10-16 18:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342079089 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342085448 This is taken from a letter my family received in the mail. The colors and the difference in boldness of the words creates a clear hierarchy for the eye to follow. Considering that the image here is actually very small, the hierarchy is incredibly effective.]]> 2022-10-16 19:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2342085448 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407027230 Samsung is a very well-known electronic company. Their logo is sleek and almost futuristic. What I really like about it is how the glyph for "A" is missing its cross bar. Doing this keeps the design consistent in having no overlapping lines and enclosed spaces. ]]> 2022-12-02 18:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407027230 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407033513 Here I'm focusing on the main logo for AriZona tea. It's fairly simple but the font is full of thick, rectangular strokes. This helps with the feeling of drinking from an old tea box. I also like that the "Z" is capitalized. It really helps the silhouette of the logo feel complete and full.]]> 2022-12-02 18:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407033513 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407036332 This text is very small on top of the head of my little backpacker guitar. It's elegant, but well-placed. Making it a shiny gold color works for making it noticeable and legible. My only gripe about it is the characters (?) in front of the "M." There's possibly a significance to it that I'm not aware of, but out of context it looks too busy.]]> 2022-12-02 18:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407036332 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407039741 I honestly don't remember where I got this tag from, but I kept it for the cool vibe haha. This logo looks better from far away though. Seeing it on my computer up close, I notice how the letters are hard to distinguish from one another. ]]> 2022-12-02 18:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407039741 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407045206 This is an old poster for one of my favorite shows. It's an animated satire/drama of sorts. The logo communicates that it's likely animated and about a horse. I can see how the more serious tones of the show would get lost here though. ]]> 2022-12-02 18:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407045206 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407055556 Another poster from a show I love. Pottsfield is a fictional town in Over the Garden Wall where the skeletons of people who have died come back to life, dress in pumpkins, and celebrate the harvest season. The font used for the message above does have the same feeling as a postcard to somewhere distant. Something I find charming is how the bar of the "T" is connected to the next letter. It's playful.]]> 2022-12-02 19:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407055556 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407066448 Game Grumps is a gaming channel on YouTube. The logo is silly and fits the feeling of games and fun. Each glyph is a slightly different size and is squashed and stretched in different ways. The "G" and "S" in "grumps" being larger than the rest of the letters is also a nice touch in making the logo feel more complete and joined together.]]> 2022-12-02 19:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407066448 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407069844 I always thought Monster had cool design choices. I'm not a big fan of the drink itself, but I can really appreciate the font choice here and how it looks scratched in but still elegant at the same time. There's a lot of variation in each stroke and the serifs give the impression of entry/exit marks of a claw while staying consistent enough to look clean.]]> 2022-12-02 19:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407069844 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407073641 One of my favorite movies! The logo is already spooky and has the feeling of something paranormal. Each letter looks almost as if it were brittle planks of wood like how people board up doors in zombie movies. That silhouette paired with the tall x-height and sickly green color makes for a ghastly logo. I also like how they chose to make the "N" glyphs slightly taller to make the logo a little more symmetrical. Doing this also pronounces the main character's name, Norman.]]> 2022-12-02 19:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407073641 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407079731 This is from the box of an artisanal soap my partner from Brazil gave to me. The font used for "Viva o Sertão" blends well with the imagery used on the box. I feel like you don't even need to understand Portuguese to get the general idea they're trying to convey here. It's homey, floral, and perhaps handmade.]]> 2022-12-02 19:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407079731 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407081384 I'm going to compare this with another TMNT comic I have in #28 since they are so different. Here the logo clearly looks more dramatic. There is little variation among the letters and everything is straight, solid. You can tell this comic has a more serious tone.]]> 2022-12-02 19:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407081384 garciaat https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407084564 This comic is older than the previous one I showed here. Immediately it looks much more playful and adventurous. The biggest indicator is the word "Turtles" which is full of fun shapes, textures, and greens. There is also much more color used here in comparison. In addition to that, the text for "Teenage mutant ninja" is presented in the same way as the fantastic adventure stories of Star Wars. There is a lot of movement and energy.]]> 2022-12-02 19:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaat/xw3wq5nv0tt3inma/wish/2407084564
