OUGD403 - Final Rationale


Rationale

Inspired by bright colours, over the top compositions and the work of Morag Myerscough. This typeface is bold and energetic. The deleted counters are minuscule aperture create an intriguing silhouette. This manipulation creates as little white space as possible making a greater visual impact. The design goes against everything Vignelli stands for, this type is so loud it shouts!

Created from the bones of Helvetica, a neutral typeface with no intrinsic meaning, it has been altered to become a striking and obnoxious typeface. The colour scheme has been inspired by the work of Kate Moross and supported by colour theory research. It adds a garish and exciting element to the design. LOUD has been specifically designed to be a title font. It works best in large point text and is well suited to headlines and magazine covers due to its outgoing nature. This will allow the details within the type, such as the back shadows, to be better appreciated.
