Cooper Black Iconography
























For this exercise I chose the Cooper Black font. Originating in the early 1920's this font has since become of the most familiar fonts available. In coming up with the icons, I chose to remain strictly with images from the time period this font was created, specifically the years of 1921 and 1922. This proved to be more challenging than initially thought as the majority of these images took much research. In creating the iconic counterparts, the process proved to easier, using straight edged letters such as "I" and "T" for the the sled and more rounded letters such as "O," "C," and "B" for the record player and telephone respectively.
