This week we talked about more of the evolution of fonts and while wandering admits the wandering on the wilds of the web, I found this shirt! There were a bunch of more shirts with the different kinds of fonts. If you look farther down you can see the exact logo that even talks about Baskerville himself and the date at which the font was created. I think this is a really creative way to introduce fonts to people and the history behind them. Maybe even for geeky graphic designers. Good way to remember things on a test!

I do think this shirt is cool (although a little hard to read). Good color palette and placement of the logo is very clean. This typeface for a t-shirt is unique since usually you don't have serifs on t-shirts. There is not much to comment on though...
ReplyDeleteThis is totally something you would find Manda. It is a creative way to show the font. I feel like the design belongs on a historical building rather than a t-shirt. But it does grab a person's attention. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteThe internet sure has broadened the field of attire now that we can buy t-shirts featuring fonts! I think the logo and color choices go well with the Baskerville font, considering it was a transitional font. The plaque-looking graphic seems to be more of an old-style element, while the green t-shirt and simply the fact that it is on a t-shirt give it more of a modern twist.
