OUGD504 - Type In Context - Type Trumps









These cards are examples from the game Type Trumps this is another example of a project that is aimed at the typographic demographic but are also engaging to the outside audience. A play on the game Top Trumps, Type Trumps works in the same way but through typography. Each card represents a typeface and shows how just through type and design how a different aesthetics and styles can be displayed. A design feature to up on and is clear from Type Trumps and Type Trumps 2 is the use of colour. Both use just black and a secondary colour ( blue / red ). This is a design feature also seen in the Shady Characters book. Aesthetically it connects each card and works really well with the typography. Trying out this technique in this work to try recreate the really engaging style seen here. Another way this project is engaging is the idea of design being interactive, hopefully through my embossed images the work will be more intriguing and exciting.
