What's my Type?

In todays' studio session we were given a task called 'What's my Type?', a task based on finding your personality in a typeface and understanding why and how it's used and how to use it appropriately. We were given a choice of six fonts to choose from, the six fonts Massimo Vignelli names as 'the only typefaces you ever need'. These six fonts included:

• Times Roman
• Futura
• Helvetica
• Garamond
• Bodoni
• Century Expanded

We were asked to create a presentation on why we chose this font, using a set of questions provided that asked what our personal experiences were and to then go into detail about what our favourite font was and how it was made, why and etc. Below is my presentation on my font and experiences!

My feedback was very good, the only qualm Simon had with it was I could have used more visual cues instead of just talking in order to create a more dynamic presentation and to get people thinking more about what I was saying.
