Project 3- Hip Hop Typography

From this project I learned about graffiti and how typography was heavily influenced in it.

The easiest part of the project was designing the poster. I already had a vision of how I would layout my text.

The most difficult part was finding a font similar to the font artist I researched about. However I found similar ones on the website Behance.

My submission could be improved with more if I made the poster look a little bit more rugged since it is in the hip hop era.

The professor helped me find resources I needed for this assignment, I would say to give the same resources for the next class so they can find fonts.

I will apply my knowledge of this type of font when it comes to making posters or social media posts.

For this project I had to research about the font. These are some articles that helped me.
