This typeface is based on the designated theme of 'Evil'. As the project developed I began to move away from the rather stereotypical 'dark' imagery commonly associated with evil and approached the topic in a different, light-hearted manner. This led me onto the theme of villainy in popular culture, from film to video games. The classic ghosts of the arcade game Pac-Man are designed with such consideration - they are required to communicate both character and threat to the player, whilst still falling within the limitations of the 1980s hardware. As a result, these creatures personify the concept of 'evil stripped down to its essential forms.'UPDATE%3A%20I%20have%20altered%20the%20letters%20%27U%27%2C%20%27H%27%20and%20%27X%27%20in%20order%20to%20increase%20legibility.%20-%2014%2F11%2F11%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20outcome%20of%20my%20first%20Graphic%20Design%20project%20at%20the%20University%20of%20the%20West%20of%20England.%20This%20typeface%20is%20based%20on%20the%20designated%20theme%20of%20%27Evil%27.%20As%20the%20project%20developed%20I%20began%20to%20move%20away%20from%20the%20rather%20stereotypical%20%27dark%27%20imagery%20commonly%20associated%20with%20evil%20and%20approached%20the%20topic%20in%20a%20different%2C%20light-hearted%20manner.%20This%20led%20me%20onto%20the%20theme%20of%20villainy%20in%20popular%20culture%2C%20from%20film%20to%20video%20games.%20The%20classic%20ghosts%20of%20the%20arcade%20game%20Pac-Man%20are%20designed%20with%20such%20consideration%20-%20they%20are%20required%20to%20communicate%20both%20character%20and%20threat%20to%20the%20player%2C%20whilst%20still%20falling%20within%20the%20limitations%20of%20the%201980s%20hardware.%20As%20a%20result%2C%20these%20creatures%20personify%20the%20concept%20of%20%27evil%20stripped%20down%20to%20its%20essential%20forms.%27
