type: history timeline


The first type project consisted of constructing a time line that represented a specific period in history for typography. My process for this project included researching my time period in depth (1780-1820) and finding specific type-related history and also random facts that occurred during this period.

My design style is reflected very strongly in the piece that I chose. It was originally in grayscale, but I chose to include gold to make the black lettering stand out more and give it some color.

After printing it, I was not particularly pleased with the layout of the transparent "AbC" lettering behind the information. I would go back and make them even more transparent and resize them so that more of the letters can be seen, making them a bit more distinguishable.
