Ok. The end of the essential elements theme, look back over the past seven days to see what I’ve been up to. Today I’ve pulled together the theme for the whole week into one piece that I think does a good job of communicating one of the central ideas here: we’re just made up of little balls stuck together:
little spheres
I’m pretty happy with this as an experiment with layout and type.
Now, a quick reflection on the last week: Wow, I’ve had much less time to do these than I’d have liked, and in the last few days the quality certainly suffered, I’m not so happy with the way calcium and oxygen turned out in particular, neither of them were particularly well concepted, and that shows. That said, I’m really happy with the way carbon and hydrogen work, in particular carbon, I feel the structure is pretty sucessful. Lessons for the next week: better something small and well-formed than something ambitious and half-baked. Sketch things out on paper first! It saves time and makes you think.
Finally, thanks to everyone who has commented, I look forward to hearing more from you guys!
One of the best so far — I love this style of typography, and the elemental symbols pop really well.
