Definitely final font!

Turned out even better than i thought.
I just need to make a sentence or word out of it.
Personally... i love it.
I think it sums me up completely.
Especially my work.
I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

target audience, people looking for something unique and out of the ordinary such as website and label designers

It would be used for where it is the main focus where the words are important and not the back ground and to stand on it's own.

Repeat pattern for a Type face!

I decided to finally test out doing a kind of repeat pattern and making a font out of it.
Because my last final font was just a pattern i had photographed.
Taking my original idea of reptile skin i came up with this design and then i made it into a repeat pattern... just like reptile skin is like a repeat pattern.
This i hand drew in pen.
I started of with this drawing...

Then a bit of quick play around on photoshop...

FONT TO FOLLOW.

Mothers Day Cards! TYPE project too.

USING MY TYPE.

I didn't have my scanner/printer with me at home so I did these cards by hand,

like I seem to always do.

I drew the flowers onto the card with black pen, and then cut the letters out of a photograph and stuck them on.

Inside i wrote my personal message.

And on the back I drew a red heart.

My Mummy is the most incredible woman in the world!

I didn't really need to say that but... i did.

For Mum.

For Grandma Oma.

FONT TYPE- Numbers

Font TYPE 2

Here I'm going to do more cutting out of font.
I could be doing this on photoshop but i prefer doing it by hand and i prefer how it looks when you do it by hand.
What works so well is each letter is so unique yet has such an obvious theme and belong together.

I found this process most successful.

Taking a photo of a design i like, 

print it out,

write the alphabet on the photo in pen,

cut out the letters,

and put it in the scanner.

I should really do my own design.

Font experimentation

I think this is my favourite so far.
Using the photograph i took of the carpet i cut out the alphabet.

I love the colour and pattern which stands out from the plain background and also i like how each letter is so unique.

Font in use

I did want to make my own repeat pattern and use that to cut out the alphabet and numbers to use as my own font.

Font Two.

I tend to draw loads of geometric shapes.

So here i decided to create a font using lines.

I think it was pretty successful and looks quite interesting because of where the lines meet and overlap.

THS is sooo not fun enough!!!!

Got to make this fun!

I like lines.

Font Two and Three.

Here i did some more simple hand drawn lines.

I'm a bit dyslexic so yeah i got the alphabet wrong a couple times.

This is a bit too simple and doesn't look very good to look at.

Looks better up close.

If i had more time i would of liked to of spent more time on each letter,

like one letter per A4 page and really concentrated on creating each letter.

FONT ONE.

Yeah i like this paper.

Was pretty hard to do the alphabet on it because there was no straight line up.

But i like all the geometric lines and shapes you can make.

This made it so much more interesting not being able to draw a straight line up or down but only diagonal.

Looks a bit futuristic.

And the vague colour blue makes it look more interesting instead of having a plain white background.

Yeah i left X out by accident.

And I don't know what happened to K and L.

Starting to find patterns.

Carrying on the idea of repeat pattern i took some photos of patterns that i found and liked.

Hand made middle eastern carpet

Rug.

Rug.

Sofa.

Mattress.

Photos i can cut letters and numbers out of.

And we had these lying about...

But the 'V' is missing!

And I liked the shaped on this old theatre.

Artists for FONT.

Jayne Helliwel

I love the use of photos and type, and the type being a pattern.

Hattie Stewart!

I like the use of shapes hattie uses, they all look interesting and unique.

Day One.

An Idea.

I started with thinking about what i would enjoy doing.

I thought i would enjoy doing this more if i based it on repeat patterns.

And then i thought about reptiles, and snakes because of their scales being a repeat pattern.

Idea One: To create a repeat pattern

Here i started drawing up some simple designs i could do.

I thought i could make a whole page of repeat pattern and cut the alphabet out of it.

Dooodles.

Here i was testing out some hand drawn hand writing.
