Twig type II

I'm really pleased with this design so going to test it out on the Wildlife Park and see how it looks.


Stickers

I designed logo stickers to be applied to make up products, and I think the lettering works really well for an identity label:

Twig type

I haven't ruled out the zebra type style but I also liked my earlier sketch of twig type and wanted to develop it a bit further before I made any decisions. I found this alphabet I'd already designed and thought I'd give it another go. I like the idea of drawing the letters not photographing them, as the brief is to design an illustrative typeface and I think this simple idea might be better than a patterned type. Drawings to come.

Less than 3 weeks to go!

Here is my Still to do list. I think it is manageable as long as I stick to it.

Here's how I have timetabled it, as realistically as possible:

Letterforms

I thought again about the typeface and tried a different approach. Creating a different design for each letter began as a good approach, as then I could get across everything the park has to offer. I could carry on with this idea, but seeing it on paper, it really didn't work as a legible typeface for the signs. As an individual piece it could, but it is important in this brief to work in the context of the park.

Zebra colour

I don't want it to look too tacky and camouflage-like but I quite like the idea of adding other colour into the stripes so that visitors aren't mislead into thinking it's all about the zebra. The other colours can represent the wildlife, nature and other animals such as the lions, etc.

Zebra type II

Experimenting with visuals for signage around the park:







In context as mock ups for now:






Text might be a little difficult to read from a distance but it gives the idea of the type's purpose whilst I'm still developing more ideas.
