Project 2 - Stairway to Helvetica


For my second project we were to write and record a song about a chosen typeface then we were to film a music video as well as the second part of our project. We were put into groups so we could work together on this project. In these groups we then randomly selected a typeface and then from there we began our work. My group had to create a song for the typeface 'Eurostile'. In order to write the song we had to research about Eurostile to include the facts into our song. After hours of thinking and writing lyrics, we had decided to write the song to the tune of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. 

Lyrics and Screencaps








EUROSTILE
Now, this is a story all about how,
Aldo Noverese made Eurostile.
And I’d like to take a minute and sit right there,
And tell you how he made this font without losing his hair.

I went to the shop to buy some music,
Oh Shit. Eminem used it!
Fcuk uses it on their clothes
To help all the men get all the hoes.
Find it in relief, discaps or stencil
You can even draw it out with your pencil.

Eurostile was born in 1962,
Few years later Star Trek used it too.
Contemporary Designers normally use it,
Some might say they abused it
Dynamic, Modern, Hip and Hop
Eurostile will never stop!
