Brief 3- Choosing a font for Harry

I've began to gradually research into harry further and the key components that will help me choose a font to develop. 

From the main questionnaire and other questions I asked I printed off some useful images that lets me gain an insight of what sort of person he is and also what sort of design he likes personally. I drew out a mind map that shows what I found interesting about Harry. I looked into Scandinavian design, his favourite band kraftwork which he loves the design of the artwork, the berlin skyline as he loves the architecture and its his favourite city. Also I got him to write his make out in upper and lower case to see what his handwriting is like, as maybe this could influence my chose in font. 

I found it interesting of what other peoples handwriting looks like and how they are all very different and individual, so I then got Harry to write out the whole alphabet in upper and lowercase to see what his full range is like. Again I then looked at some more images that I think would influence my chose, then from all the research that i gathered my initial thought was to go for Helvetica but i didn't want to go for something so boring, so I looked into the adobe font folio. 

I went through the full adobe font folio and chose out ones that would be suitable, I found a really good one that I loved called 'Prestige Elite' unfortunately it was a serif but Harry said that he prefered a san-serif font, so after further looking in the book I came across a font called 'Letter Gothic Std Medium' this is a very light and simple font which I found perfect for Harry's style.  

This font is perfect for Harry as it simple yet effective, much like alot of the design that he's into, although i much prefer the font in uppercase. 

Here are some very quick manipulations I have made to the font, I have tried to make the top one more laid back as he is a very laid back individual and the second one I have tried to make the stems of the letters longer as he enjoys looking at architecture, and the tallness of the letters at different heights could represent the buildings.
