3 letters

 

    The assignment consisted of 3 letters differing from their classification or font. These letters establish the use of negative and positive space through their actions upon the box.The letters are an uppercase V, a lowercase d and b.However their appearance are vastly influenced from their classification.For instance the V is drawn using the Sans Serif Helvetica, originated in 1957.When viewing from ones blind eye, it seems austere as no exaggeration is expressed throughout the font.Some characteristics include the use of no contrast and a lack of serif.Therefore in order to develop a strong relationship between the letter V and the box I planted it right in the middle, developing the letter to be a bold statement instead of a vague one.Afterwards I established the letter d with the exact opposite from V's classification.Known as Old style Garamond, it consist of a low contrast, being heavily bracketed, having a course serif, and including a humanistic proportion.In order to take advantage of these unique characteristics I implemented them amongst the letter d, which is very versatile because it provides a unique counter.Many will view the negative space as a circle but it is actually a oval similar to ones circle.I then placed this letter at the bottom right of the box, while being overlapped by the V located in its ascender.Due to the lack of negative space in the bottom right, i put the letter d to fill it up.Finally I wanted to develop a similar but more prominent letter compared to the d.Of cause the most related letter is a lowercase b. It has the same appearance but just reflected or mirrored.Despite it being interchangeable, I set the b in a classification known as Slab Serif Rockwell, originated in 1850.Its features contribute to its moderate contrast and the use of no brackets.From this observation I placed it in the right corner as it had the same situation when regarding the letter d.Coming from my experience regarding this assignment, I learned knowledge about negative and positive space, type anatomy, and its classifications.
