I went into the crit well prepared with my full typeface as required put into words and a rational on my design board. There was some question raised around the continuation line through my letters as on rounded letters it only goes through one side. Including pitch points on both sides of a rounded letter is something I haven’t looked into since Futura development. I’ll have a quick experiment with the line through all the letters just to give that some closure. For the words I’ve chosen though this is not a problem due to the not being maybe complex rounded forms in ‘exit’ and ‘way out’. I need to also explore further possible words I could use.
Ben advised me to look further into using vinyl cut stickers to transfer my way finders onto walls. This is different from my currently explored stencil idea but its probably a sensible change due to the perminant nature of spray paint. I then went down to the digital print room and booked a slot for next Tuesday at 10. This should leave me with some time on Tuesday lunch or Wednesday to get some words stuck up and photographed.
In terms of my type specimen it was suggested I incorporate this with my vinyl super graphics. I would either do this via a smaller block of vinyl text stuck near the super graphic or my using a vie finder that could be used to view to frame the graphic from a distance. This crit gives me enough to explore over the weekend but I feel the amount of work is very manageable so I’ll try and experiment as much as possible.
