Typographic Ishihara
During my workshop in week 3 I decided to create an Ishihara plate revolving around the Letter A. From researching into the concept of Ishihara Test plates I discovered that the Red/Green colour deficiency is the most common form, around 99%; this is where people with this deficiency find it difficult to differentiate between both red and green. As red and green are both complimentary colours I chose to base my first type experiment around these two primary colours.
I think maybe for future reference, I would create a Typographic style and then import it into Illustrator to use as a template to place the coloured circles. Whereas with the method I used above, I created the shape of the ‘A’ freehand which in some cases makes the type more obscured and difficult to distinguish. I think following a pre-made template would give the plate a cleaner and more formal aesthetic.
