reach out, grow, become a better designer each day, but remember it is more than just looking, try to change to world.
The Assignment:
Create professional water bottle label based on the Greco/Roman demigod.
The Project:
I studied several soda and water bottle labels. Heilos, the sun god intrigued me due to the juxtaposition of fire and water. Continuing the Greco-Roman theme, I chose Lithos and Trajan as the key typefaces for the design. Furthermore, I chose a limited color palette to create a harmonious design and save on printing costs. The Sun is also associated with Vitamin C and electrolytes so I opted on a favored/enhanced water to add some visual/contextual interest.

Researched and wrote a report on the Trajan font which then was incorporated in to the poster. The colosseum was where fights, theater, well in other words where people went for entertainment during Roman Times. Since this font is used in movie titles and posters, I designed the poster announcing an event.
* A bit of info from my research on the Trajan font:
The Trajan Column inscription is said to be the first Trajan typeface. The Trajan column was constructed by the Senate and the Roman citizens to honor the wars of the Roman Emperor Marcus Ulpius Traianus (53 AD - 117 AD). For the next 2,000 years, the lettering on the Trajan Column and other similar lettering of the time would shape the Roman alphabet and encourage typeface design. The Trajan Column lettering has inspired many typeface designers throughout the years to simulate the Trajan Column lettering.
*The inscriptions’ lettering at the base of the column shows the stately writing that differed from the everyday handwriting of the Romans. The Romans did not invent the alphabet but were the first to put serifs on the alphabet. What these ancient times did leave was a great replica that would have an influence for the next 2000 years on the Roman alphabet. The capital letters in the alphabet used today went through many changes; such as characters added or deleted, depending on what the various users needed. It was not until about 750 AD that the lowercase evolved.
* Twombly a calligrapher and typeface designer, worked for the Adobe Originals team where she designed many typefaces, to include Trajan. Inspired by the chiseled inscriptions of the Trajan Column, Carol Twombly designed the font to include numbers and punctuations, as well as a bold version of Trajan.
*Since Trajan is only an all caps alphabet, it should not be used for body copy because it is harder to read all caps in a paragraph as well as in small point size. It looks best as display copy since the typeface is all caps, at eighteen points and up. This is why one sees it in movie posters, billboards, bookcovers, CDs, and movie and magazine titles.

Specimen 1 of 3. This was done for a typography class in fall, 2005. The assignment was to build type specimens of three different typefaces, one each from "old style," "modern," and "contemporary." Clearface, being an early 20th century typeface, is right on the edge of "old style."
