After critique, Zack found both ideas to be interesting, but worried about the gimmicky feel of the adoption fair. Though solid in concept, its message might be lost by a public that chooses to engage in the fun aspect of it without reaching much further. Also, it would require some sort of cooperation on the part of a small staff that would have to be reliable in remaining serious throughout the event.
I decided to further explore the madlib idea.
The final image posted above explores a typography exercise I did to discover the connotations behind these typefaces. At the top of each page, I put the typeface. I think wrote down many, many adjectives on tiny slips of paper. I then asked friends and strangers to put the adjectives under the typeface they felt best suggested/expressed that adjective.
The point of this exercise was to see which typefaces could hold the MOST varied meanings. I felt it was important for this process to select typefaces that suggested meaning, but not anything specific. This would help audiences form their own opinions and interpret my messages.
