Type Process

so far i started looking at allot of type on vinyl record covers. i've always enjoyed album work that has a strong image and type combination. next i started focusing allot on the artwork on concept albums, especially the work of storm thorgerson. the more i looked the more i started to look for the relation of the artwork on the cover to the content of the album. the questions i then became personally curious about where how i could use image based type to inform the content of a concept album, how images can push and influence the shape of a letter form while also pushing legibility, and how the content can influence the letter forms. 

while looking at thorgersons work i was browsing through all the pink floyd albums he has designed and got to the one he did for the animals cover. i did alot of research on the album and what it was all about. the album has alot to do with roger waters problems with socialism. he also classifies people into three categories of animals, either pigs, dogs, or sheep. i then started to mess with leterforms in an attempt to re-design the album.
