In the Graphic Design pathway students had a very productive day developing sketches for new typefaces inspired by a variety of grids. From imagery of a diverse array of grids photographed from architecture, natural forms, interior spaces, boundaries and landscape, students considered modularity and structure in designing their letterforms. The images here use grids from The British Library Roof structure, waveforms, antennae, windows, paving surfaces, and car radiator grills. The next stage of the workshops will be to further develop and refine their characters with a view to producing a display typeface digitally.
