Form the typography workshop at the Wilson’s Republic Conference
I took away some useful tips on how to create typography. I wanted to practice
with these techniques such as Kerning. To do this I created a logo for a fictional
game show brand. This brand is named ‘Rat Race’. With this logo, I utilised the
skills I had learnt within the workshop so that the logo came across in the
best possible way. My outcome is shown below.
With this logo, I tried to focus on Kerning of the letters as this is something
I have always struggled with in Graphic Design. Within typography, kerning is the process of
adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to
achieve a visually pleasing result. To create this work I used Adobe Illustrator. The main text has been created from scratch through the utilisation of the Pen Tool. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome
of this practice, I will attempt to create more as the year progresses so that
I can truly master typography.
