Early experimentation/pages from sketchbook

Title for this blog says it all really.

Be Happy- The main idea for this project

Things to be happy for- Nature

This one is based on a quote i found about being happy-

HAPPINESS IS LIKE A KISS...

YOU MUST SHARE IT TO ENJOY IT.

This one is also based on a quote about happiness...

ALL THE HAPPINESS YOU EVER FIND LIES IN YOU!

These last two look like the lettering needs to be filled in black.

In my sketchbook it looks fine how it is.

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.

Bunting.

On monday i finished drawing on my bunting.
As i said before i was quite surprised at how well it turned out.
I was panicking that the letters wouldn't turn out as well as i hoped and wasn't sure how the pattern would turn out.
But when i did a practice i realised that i would completely work.
And it did and i'm very happy about it.
I've just reserved a sewing machine so i'll be able to hem them all tonight.
I have string but it's like garden string so i'm not sure if i should find something better.
With my balloon ideas, and bunting ideas turning out so well i am going to combine all my ideas into a selection of greeting cards so all my ideas come together as one for a final piece.
I am so excited about it.

BE HAPPY.

And these are the patterned material i chose.
As i said before, i chose flowers because they have a happy feel to them.
I chose the same pattern in different colours so they'd compliment each other and also the colours go with the plain material i chose to draw on.
Two of the triangles in this picture have been sewn already.
