BRIEF 2: Non-Letterform

The Brief
-
Create a typeface that is not based on letterforms. A sort of code. Use this to typeset a text relevent to the code created.

Background
-
Across history the human race has used code to communicate to each other. Whether this be morse code, binary etc.

Considerations
-
What format can this take?
It coud be a publication, or book or a print.

Target Audience
Bold
-
Designers, artists, Design for designs sake


Mandatory Requirements
-
A full alphabet from A-Z

Use the typeface to typeset a relevent text

How will the code be understood or translated back into english?

How can the visual language be appropriated to a client based project?

How can the text give clues as to where the code is derived from?

Deliverables

A publication

A print

Translation key.

Spine design


This is the finished spine designs the spine is simple and minimal to extend the contemporary concept.

3rd stage


The patterned bordered box is cluttering up the front page and making it look cheesy, I think the version on the left works better, with the text box being the the negative of the pattern. I think this further supports the contemporary concept.



The shape of the negative space makes a coat of arms, this supports the classical element of the concept.





I think the shield works better, it allows for more white space around the faber and faber logo. I have also added the barcode, the brief states that the book covers will be sold in bookshops.
