[14/10/2013] 2 Dimensional Design - Create Your Own Monogram: Inspiration/References.

Miss Lisa asked us to go to the library and find books to gives us an inspiration on how to do our selected monogram. Especially the font selection.

So I found this amazing books in the library.

Me being the girl who loves vintage/retro, these books caught my eyes instantly!

In the "FIVE HUNDERED 45s: A GRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE SEVEN-INCH RECORD SPENCER DRATE AND JUDITH SALAVETZ" book. I found few I find funny and interesting.

Supergrass, KISS OF LIFE, Parlophone, 2004

Ism, I Think I Love You, S.I.N., 1983. Designer: Jism/Sallese.

 As for the "CUSTOM LETTERING OF THE '60's & '70's"

It gave me more ideas for my monogram.

But sadly, I couldn't borrow it from the library because well to be frank, I'm not the type of person who usually borrow books from the library. So I only took picture.

When I went home, I remembered how my brother studied Architecture and well he likes graffiti art. So I went to the attic and find books that he has that could help me with this assignment and I did.

This book had a lot of amazing illustration works.

and this one stood out the most to me.

The typography choice makes it looks nice to look at. The quote itself brings out the beauty of it and of course the colour usage hehehehe I can not resist pale colours like this. Even the illustration next to it is amazing as well.
