As part of my research I decided to expand my search beyond the internet and so my first step was to go to the library and do some research:
As well as scanning these examples I took out a few books, I'm currently making my way through Just My Type which I am really enjoying and look forward to implementing what I learn in future projects.
- Garfield, S. (2011) Just My Type. Profile Books
- Woolman, M (2005) Type in Motion 2, 2nd Ed. Thames & Hudson
- Gibbs, D., Hillman, D (1998) Pentagram: The Compendium: Thoughts, Essays and Work of the Pentagram Partners in London, New York and San Francisco. Phaidon.
A few other places deserve mention; the YouTuber Karen Kavett, a graphic designer who's had a dedicated channel for some years now, all the way through art school and through her job at YouTube before recently leaving to persue freelance projects. She's a little over enthusiastic at times but genuinely charming and she has done a few videos dedicated to Typography which where a great place to start and lead me to the Helvetica Movie and also to investigate a few professional fonts... EXPENSIVE!
