My Bloody Valentine

For this class we were supposed to pick a typeface and create a specimen for it. in mine. I decided to choose Kabel because of it's use in the 70s and in "my bloody valentine". I wanted the color and the layout to be similar to the loveless album they released. The eight and the type attached to the eight is supposed to resemble a guitar and it's respective neck.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned a lot about asymmetric design. I felt the need to always have my type lined up and gridded and this class has allowed me to feel like I can break free a little more from the grid...Although it is still very important.
