Tart Cards

p1010158_3

I had a typography brief to design 3 ‘tart cards’ to advertise typefaces and letter forms. We had to do one for a typeface of our choice, one for a letter form, and one other typographical one with no restrictions.

——————————————————————————————-

No restrictions – Hand sewn outlined text in white thread on red card saying “Stroke Me.”

Typeface – Using the typeface ‘Bobo Dylan’ set in black on white card saying “Mess with my tight kerning, play around with my big counters, and stroke my long stems… Dylan).”

Letter form – Using a question mark set in the typeface ‘Harrington.” Gold embossed on to black card.

Basically I was quite pleased with the outcome of the cards.

The brief was actually a competition one set by the St Bride Library, which can be seen here: http://www.uktype.com/index.php?Tart-Cards
