Hand rendered typography, after looking into some album covers I noticed the use hand rendered type which came across quite effectively. it gives a personal touch not from me per say rather for the band gives them a distinct look and feel. As the theme is to be up beat and a party style I think this kind of type would work as it's loose and flowing like a party could be perceived as and could show the 'quirkyness' or their song choices and them as a band. Loose knit funk wanted a up beat party vibe this to me made me think they want to be seen as fun and contemporary jazz funk band that people will listen to. I was looking through smashingmagazine.com for general inspiration not necessarily just for this project and came across 'beautiful hand drawn typography' and showcased 20 different illustrations. Image 4 and 5 were what drew me into this article. the paint splatters used in image 5 and the use patterns in the eyes made it look almost party like but definitely up beat, the crowded messy look helps show this i feel, the striped pattern reminds me of streamers and the use of a variety of type to me shows different voices? a busy noisy atmosphere? Also on this example and number 1/2 use a 3d effect shading in the area keeping the lettering so simple it's just basic outline of the letter. I think for this instance I will create a design with hand rendered type if I feel it is working and create one with screen type as well to give the band a choice, as this hand rendered business may just be my personal opinion.
Here are a few sketches I did based on these images here t see how they would work with the band name I've also used an Avant Garde style to see how that would work as well. I like the idea of creating the text 3d especially in an up beat vibe I feel this could work.
