Harry Potter, written by J.K. Rowling, (seriously, if you haven't read Harry Potter, shame on you! haha) is series containing seven books in which the lead character, Harry Potter, and his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, attend the wizarding school Hogwarts. Throughout the series, Harry, with the help of his friends, is trying to stop his nemesis, Lord Voldemort, from taking over the wizarding world.
I am going to design a typeface based on Hagrid. Hagrid is the groundskeeper at Hogwarts, and is introduced in the very beginning as Dumbledore passes infant Harry to him after the death of his parents at the hands of Lord Voldemort. This is only the beginning of a very strong bond that Harry and Hagrid have throughout the entire series.

You know this has to be a heavy weight slab serif. I mean he's half giant!
ReplyDeleteSince you also chose my biography, I feel compelled to offer some insight. 8)
ReplyDeleteI also don't know anything about Hagrid because I am not a narcissist who reads his own books. Because there are also movies, I think it would be great to allude to things only the books touch on.
YOU'RE A DESIGNER, KATE!

I love hagrid! I agree with melissa though this has to be a heavy slab serif. But i also think you need to find a way to allude to hagrids sensitive side. I mean he is the sweetest person throughtout the series
ReplyDeleteAgreed, be sure to include his toughness/softness somewhere in the type! Oh and some arches would be nice.
ReplyDeleteBasically what everyone else is saying, he's a giant teddy bear (pun intended). The giant slab serif is a must, but done in a gentle, caring way.
