Week 2 rag left-right work

Here is my work assignments for rag-left-right designs. I found this design style to be challenging because shifting the letters horizontally can create design problems. But where are problems, there are solutions! I am still having a difficult time with kerning, but hopefully I will get better.

























Rag-right-left inspirational designs

Here are some inspirational examples of rag-right-left designs. These are designs where the typography tends to be centered or be flush and/or left.

Inspirational 'square up' designs

So one day I decided I should get better at typography. Thankfully Genevieve Williams is teaching an excellent hands on 8 week class on core typography skills. For homework we were to scour the web for a type of design Genevieve calls “Square ups”. This is when a typographic design makes up a square or rectangular space. Flourishes and other decorational elements are allowed and letters can be at an angle as well.
