You have been provided with a specimen sheet of the typeface of Helvetica Neue Bold
Working with this as a starting point you are required to produce your own typeface.
A complete typeface would include every letter from A - Z.
Initially it may be useful to work on producing 4-5 letters at a time, allowing you to experiment and test out various ideas and working methods. It is important that you remember you are designing a whole typeface so what you do to one letter should be applied to every letter from A - Z.
Possible ways of working include cut and paste, combining different letterforms, defacing, distressing, re-tracing etc. Use the photocopier to enlarge, reduce and overprint.
During the week and weekend we want you to collect other ways of making type to enrich the project.
Your final A-Z should be presented on an A3 sheet and should include the name of your typeface set in your typeface.
