Font Style

I felt that more experimentation needed to occur regarding the font style. I tried individual handwriting and hand drawn fonts. Through evaluation and analysis I eventually came to the conclusion that hand drawn Century Gothic gave the best result. The 'roundness' of the letters gave the fonts space to be hand drawn yet still be clear to read. The font was the easiest to read so it therefore allowed the quote to 'speak for itself'. Please see below for sketch book pages and font experimentation's:

Handwriting

Individual handwriting decreased the impact of the quote. It made the quote appear informal and light hearted. I believed that this devalued the message of the quote. Using handwriting would also raise the issue of eligibility (there is no point in having a campaign poster if you can't read it.) I also had the idea of asking the adults with AS to write their own. However, some adults with Asperger Syndrome struggle to write.

Taking these initial shots also raised other questions such as: where should the hands go on the board? How high should the board be held?  What clothes should the people be wearing? What colour?

Hand drawn fonts

Hand drawn Century Gothic was the best font to use after a process of analysis and evaluation. I also reintroduced the 'little snippets' of information about Asperger Syndrome and the individual to add an informative and also a personal touch.
