I chose my Z-Car poster as my best example of typography. It has my biggest letter form from any of my projects from this semester. I have made a few changes from my original print out. The first thing I changed was the color of the Z. It was originally more of a brown when it was printed out, and I really wanted a golden color. So I went in and added more yellow and took out some of the red and just a little green and black. The main changes are that I moved the SHOW YOURS OFF. I decided to put the words onto the Z, this way the Z acts more as a graphic than a letterform. I decided to make the text at the bottom, which is just explaining where and when the car show is, smaller to fit onto one line. And if someone is interested in the poster they will come up close and be able to read what is writen. I also moved the Z so it was centered in the poster, and added a drop shadow behind it. I did this because it looked a little flat without the shadow, but looked bad with other effects. I also added a white layer of text behind the black show yours off. I did this to once again make the wording look less flat. I decided to change the font that I was using when reworking this poster. The font that I was originally using was skinnier, and I thought it looked better being a little thicker. I have used Arial Black for the text because I thought it looked good with the Z. I had tried some other things with the text and decided this was the best. I tried putting just the show in the Z, at the bottom where yours off is now. I tried making it white so it looked as if it was a cut out of the Z.
