Rebecca Kelly

Mindmap of Rebecca's Likes and Characteristics

I created a mind map of Rebecca's likes and characteristics to eventually choose a typeface to reflect her personality. 

I first began by looking into the connotations of her favourite colours. The colour green symbolises the colour of nature it also symbolises self-respect and well-balanced being.  It is also often used in hospitals and mental health units to create a calming atmosphere. The colour purple symbolises good judgement. The findings from these colouring meaning reflect some of the answers she gave, it also reinforces the theme of comfort.

Adobe Font Finder

I found the Adobe Font Finder website to try and find an existing font that has similar characteristics to represent Rebecca. Adobe Font Finder can help you narrow down your search by categorising the fonts into different styles and characteristics. I used options of sans serif, contemporary and logo.
Verve Std. Font

I really love this font called 'Verve Std' I feel it reflects her personality and echoes her handwriting. It's a very contemporary font, which I feel reflects her alternative dress sense and music taste. I think this is the font I will probably use as the basis of her alphabet. There is a really nice balance between curve and line to the type which reflects her well-balanced personality. 
Rockwell Font
I decided to look at Rockwell for a font for Rebecca as it is the font used for the Leeds festival which she said was her favourite place in the world. I'm unsure on the typeface though, it is quite brash and bold. I won't be using this font.
