On Saturday 4th June, I visited Wakefield for the first time with my partner Alex to visit the Hepworth Museum, a new building celebrating the work of Barbara Hepworth along with others. Along with general interest, one of the main purposes for our visit was for Alex- being a architect practitioner he had a lot of interest in the new building and it's designer, David Chipperfield. However, when we got there, there was also a treat for me- some great typefaces and use of graphic design through the building.
The main entrance- brilliant typefaces- bold, modern, timeless. Really like the 'W' effect- must do more research and find out about the Graphic Designers working alongside Chipperfield's creative team...
I really liked these quotes dotted around the walls of the building- made the exhibitions and interactive experience feel a little more personal, and also helped to maintain interest, breaking up the aesthetics in the rooms.
Again, clear, simple Graphic Design used to good effect. Simple pictograms and a clear serif font- readible aswell as stylish and modern.
A good, affordable day out (just £2ish on the train)- fun to see somewhere new and widen my interests a little futher.
