For the signage we proposed a cost-effective modular scaffolding system, which can be assembled as needed. This allows the college to reuse the signage for future exhibitions, open days and graduate shows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1431132110106-1WPQQXC12WY2ZIZRRSFN/img4.jpg Projects - Lorem Ipsum We were asked to design some promotional material for two of NCAD's new MA programs. A typographic approach was developed for each course. For the Design History MA, we incorporated many of the design classics that are studied on the course. For the Art in the Contemporary World MA, we referenced the idea of 'Art in the white space' that features on the course. https://www.hellodarling.ie/home daily 1.0 2019-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547126525991-64PW72INKUV56SXQOYXV/Drawing_Studio_Darling%402x.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547134231262-PIVDILOXGVF0WDNMHPJ0/Darling-FADE1.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547142525840-7KPC0I8KHJQETXT6QN6G/Circle%402x.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547142757519-OTEXDVXPCR071411M70G/ucd_brandmark_colour.gif Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547144243773-IT9XV8G2VRLB3TOPWDK3/UCD_Vet_School1.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547202485411-DB5HMFJAMCJPS1NB79Y4/Karmijn-Apple1.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547057261760-O8JM1XL14VKIYIKDVJZ5/Green_Belt1.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1547471044140-G0X78JRPPCX1N4VQTDUD/SuperHands-instagram-logo.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1558948224181-ZYTJPHC6S48O5BZGYJZX/endSlate.gif Work - Character illustration & animation The rebrand features a series of characters to represent the graduates who take part in this event.

The strong contrast between the heavy and light strokes of the letter make it less legible than a more balanced typeface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bd2a45e4b06fad9ba2993f/1553615612472-1497F68TFIPBMFYJJ4KA/Darling-x-height Blog - Accessible Design for print The x-height of a font - the height of a lower case letter x - affects its legibility.
