Type Catalog – The League of Moveable Type

For my advanced typography class we have been assigned to design a type catalog featuring 3-6 typefaces from a type foundry of our choice. I am all about free fonts. I have a new respect for the amount of time and work that goes into designing a typeface and think the designer should be compensated – but don’t want it to necessarily be by me. So instead of trying to figure out a way to steal fonts I selected a foundry that offers all free typefaces, The League of Movable Type.

The catalog size has to fit in an 8.5 X 11 but we can pick any size as long as that requirement is met. Mine is designed at 5 x 5. We are currently in the Black & White Comps stage, which means we present these in black and white and receive feedback before changing colors. I usually play with color a little and then change it after the critique.

I like where this is heading. I am sure my teacher will need some convincing – he isn’t very easy to please or receive consistent feedback from.

This has probably been my favorite assignment so far because I have an obsession with fonts and liked picking some for this project. I don’t think I have shared much of my school work and want to document better so I can see my progress!

What My Clients Are Saying

  • I needed a rush printable for a sponsored post and Hip and Simple was able to help me and provide such a cute product. My new favorite!

  • We trusted Jessika with our wedding and she did a great job. I love reliving our big day through her photography.

  • My family showed up to our photography session grumpy. I was stressed and worried we wouldn't get the pictures I was hoping for. Jessika worked with my kids (and husband) and the pictures were great. She was able to capture their personality and great family photos for our living room and holiday cards.

  • I've used Jessika for a few different flyer designs and she produces fresh, modern designs that fit exactly what I need. She works well for my timeline and budget. I look forward to working with her more in the future.

  • I've used Jessika for many different design jobs; printables, website button design, newsletter design, ebooks, etc. I love her turnaround time and quality.

  • Easy to work with and flexible. Does a great job of capturing my vision and creating printables that I can offer my readers. A great resource for design but also research, newsletter design, ConvertKit, social media, WordPress, virtual assisting, etc.
