Ideas, Ideas, Ideas...

Once we had all of our research done on typefaces, type categories and so on, it was time to start thinking how we can use our ideas with our given letter. So we broke out the good old layout paper, and start tracing typefaces and altering them to portray our word, which in my case is "Bankers" So far I have got a couple of ideas from my thumbnails that I want to work further on, one being money going down the drain and money bunched together creating the letter B.

The main problem a lot of us are trying to avoid is decorating or illustrating our letters. We need the letter form to do the work, not the illustrative parts that make it up. And, of course, the key thing is to keep it nice and simple. And it's important to make the right choice with a typeface, since it has to relate with the words we are trying to get across.

Right now, we have gone back to do some thumbnails to illustrate our word. Then we can then use these thumbnails to help us generate new ideas with our letter form later on.
