Guided Project: Typographic with Custom Font and Color
“Now it’s your turn to put everything you’ve learned into practice. This project was designed to help you apply the knowledge you’ve learned in the course in a creative and personal way. If you don’t know where to start, don’t worry: we’ll give you some ideas to help you get started and let your creativity flow. The most important thing is to explore, experiment, and enjoy the process while developing a proposal that reflects your own personality. Share your results with the community and get inspired by your colleagues’ work! 1. Typographic logo for an urban fashion brand Create a logo for a fictional streetwear brand targeting a young, edgy audience. Use expressive typefaces, weight variations, and unusual styles. Use a vibrant color palette and choose a secondary font that works well on labels, packaging, and social media. Project example: Create the logo for “RUDA”, a streetwear brand inspired by the energy of big Latin American cities. 2. Typographic Monogram for Creative Personal Branding Create a monogram using your initials or those of a fictional character. Experiment with different spacing, proportions, and overlapping letters. This exercise is ideal for exploring graphic synthesis and conveying personality with simplicity. Finish with a complementary font and negative and colored versions. Project example: Create the “MC” monogram for a multidisciplinary designer focusing on emotional branding. 3. Typographic logo for a fictional publishing company Imagine a publisher of illustrated books or contemporary poetry. Develop a logo where the typography conveys elegance, clarity and sensitivity. Experiment with serifs, subtle contrasts and refined proportions. Complete with a supporting font designed for covers and editorial materials. Project example: Create the logo for “Nimbo Editora”, specialized in art and photography publications. 4. Logo for a sustainable products brand Create a logo for a sustainable brand — whether it’s for natural cosmetics, organic food, or eco-friendly products. Use soft, organic letterforms and a color palette that communicates nature and well-being. Choose a supporting font that works on labels and packaging. Project example: Create the logo for “Luma”, a plastic-free, chemical-free personal care brand. 5. Typographic rebranding of an art festival Imagine you’ve been asked to redesign the logo of a fictional cultural festival. The challenge is to create a typography that conveys movement, creativity, and diversity. Play with distortions, dynamic compositions, and vibrant colors. Choose a secondary font that’s suitable for signage and promotional materials. Project example: Create the logo for “Fronteira Aberta”, a performing arts and experimental music festival. ”
