Although mine is sort of simple and less interesting than most of the cool designs already posted I thought I'd play anyway.

Here is the document that caused Leopard to go on an acid trip. I found a bug while saving from AI to PS to .jpg. It made my dock go bye bye and lots of weird stuff to happen. Anyway, here is my humble submission.

The former is a homage to perhaps the most pervasive/prevalent (depending on your opinion) character and usage idiosyncrasy of Helvetica, playfully exaggerating the use of overly negative leading, often to the point where it obfuscates legibility yet not readability, which in this case is provided by the use of negative space from the original text, which itself is in conflict to Helvetica's intended usage.

The latter a subtle reworking of Neue Helvetica 25 Ultra Light, transforming Helvetica from it's famed unified weight of individual characters, into continuous strokes forms, and in the process stripping Helvetica of much of it neutrality, yet continuing to maintain its familiar form.

yeah - I probably shouldn't have cropped it.

the first one says "to a stern"... maybe I should take a graphic design course one of these days so that I actually know what I'm doing.

I'm excited to see what part 2 of this little assignment is going to be. Less than 2 days to go!

 

[Ish]

Here's my try. It's a bit plain, even though I like plain. It makes me wish I had a longer username!


EDIT: Wot! no attachment? I know I said it was plain but this is ridiculous. Call it white on white!
