I designed this as a final project in my last design class at Sierra College. The topic was up to us, but it could not be a portfolio. I am fascinated by typeface designers, and as a female graphic designer in what is still considered to be a male-dominated field, I focused on female typeface designers.
This was one of the most important projects on which I have worked. So important, in fact, that I continued working on it after the semester was over.
I contacted each designer, asked for a high-resolution image to use and then scoured their websites and any reference to them to write a blurb about them. Every designer featured was thrilled about the project and many even sent me free fonts, or samples of their fonts to use for the project.
I published the magazine on issuu.com and have had several copies printed, so the design has been modified for both print and web use.
