We was shown the stencil components of Josef Albers typeface (1925) and was given an optional task of constructing our name out of as few of these components as we can. My first thoughts was that this would be very difficult as they are very simple shapes.
I am pleased with my outcome of this task as I feel that my name is clearly readable. However, I struggled with using as few components as I could, I felt that there wasn't a way of making it any simpler, unless it became harder to read.
I think that the original typeface has quite a lot of similarities to the name that I have constructed. However I feel that it is also a lot cleaner and simpler than my version.
Overall, I enjoyed this task and found it quite challenging.
