The discourses of a typeface design project
Abstract
Human being is intrinsically creative. His/her capacity of creating new realities from other ones is an intellectual and highly complex activity. Because of that, designer needs to understand mental mechanisms of creation as well as the essence of what it is intended to design. Understanding typography as visual culture, and related to what that being said, this article aims to define typography as an interdisciplinary network. We also will analize creative process from the look directed by the project with the purpose of identify those basic elements that may help to strengthen not arbitrary but controlled decisions.
