Experimenting with Type

For my first experimentation with type, I began by referencing Blue Note covers and their distinct use of type. Thankfully, on FontsInUse.com, I was able to identify a wide range of fonts used by BlueNote, which meant that I could directly use the same fonts in my own experiments. 

I wanted to choose something that would also reference the distinct repeated type that Hassan Rahim used for his work for Jaques Greene. I really like the use of the typeface (Franklin Gothic Outlined) within my own work because it references back to both Reid Miles' designs as well as modern techno visuals, especially when repeated. 

I also experimented with the idea of having the type on a plastic sleeve that could be removed to reveal the collage by itself. I like this idea and the subtlety within it because it links to both of the tracks having no lyrics, they are atmospheric and I feel like a cover with no type reflects that.
