[P1]: 3

Being able to use color was a nice addition to the first part of this project. Using color helps certain parts of of the page pop out more than the surrounding area. I stuck with a consistent color on the words and worked with changing the background color and placement on the page to change how it is looked at. This was more fun than the first part

Adrian Frutiger

Adrian Frutiger is a famous typographer and graphic designer. Born in Switzerland, Frutiger experimented with various handwriting styles, going away from the formal cursive handwriting that he was told to use. He went into printing, where his work would become well known. Frutiger studied at Kunstgewerbeschule, a school of applied arts, and went into calligraphy there. Frutiger went on to be recruited by Deberny Et Peignot, where he created the typefaces “President”, “Meridien”, and Ondin”. Frutiger also created the typefaces Univers and Egyptienne, which were both commissioned for photocomposition. As his work became more popular, Frutiger was asked to design typefaces for things like the Paris Metro and the Charles de Gualle Airport. Frutiger has won many awards for his renowned work, and continues to work to this day. 

Frutiger also created the Univers grid that showed his Univers typeface in its various forms. The Univers grid uses a number system, showing the various forms of the typeface based on changing stroke weights and kerning. It is an organized way of showing the changes of the font.
