So for the laser cutting what happened is, I didn't know how to work illustrator and Rosy was really struggling finding facts and research for her Diet mograph, so I basically said to her, look if I find you a range of research will you draw out these grates and grills on illustrator for me. So we swapped computers and cracked on and it took us both about half an hour to do these tasks and I think it would of taken me a lot longer to do it myself so I'm really glad we did this and Rosy had some decent research to use for her mograph so it was a winner winner chicken dinner.
However when I took it down to woodwork the file wouldn't work, from this I learnt to always take your file to Mike Flowers because Roger isn't brilliant with Illustrator, in the end he also thought the proportions were wrong so Anna went and got a puppet and we talked through proper dimensions of the grates so that they were big enough to show up on screen as well, and then Roger showed us how to draw them out on CAD. He was lovely about it, we took up a lot of his time but I was really grateful for the help. CAD seems like a great design program too. The laser cutter took an age to print out, so during that time I looked up loads of fonts and sent them to anna to go through and choose her fave.
This was my email to anna:
This laser cutting is taking the piss, so I'm looking at fonts for titles, the coolest free ones of 2015 off creative bloq and awwwards and web designers and D&AD so on.
So no. 1 Refuge, I like the handmade feel of it, but I don't think it's slick enough for our project. It's pretty cool though I might still download it on my laptop
This is like a cleaner version of it shape wise, I think it would make cool for the title page, but I think we should find something that will work for all the press stuff, so this is a contender at the moment
ooo this one is nice and vintagey, or do we want it to have a more modern feel to show that it's still happening today?
another vintagey one but it's a handdrawn font called sunday
if we want to go modern, I think this is one of the nicest modern fonts that's trending at the moment that's free, nairobe is the top one but I was thinking Chelsea.
A few others for consideration:
This is one I use a lot so I never know if it is actually suitable:
At least it's another thing we've considered, let me know what you like.
