Favorite FontStructions from Skipper Lee (Sorted by Sharing Date)

“Crumble” by joshtylee

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 04:58:35 +0000

My name's Josh and I'm a graphic design first year student at the University of the West of England. This is my typeface, Crumble, developed from the theme of decay. As my first time using FontStruct I struggled at first getting the feel of the programme and this is my final outcome. Throughout the process of creating my alphabet I realised some limitations I’d inadvertently set myself and therefore had to simplify my design, however the end result is one that I find effective due to this simplicity.

“Fused Font Thin” by Richard Burton

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:04:14 +0000

This is my first fontstruction I have designed for the first module in my Graphic Design degree at UWE Bristol. My typeface is based on the word 'Energy'. I researched electrical energy and tried to create an electrical fuse/spark typeface. The result reminded my of iron fillings and so I went on to create "Energy Vibration"

“Delectatio Morosa” by Ben Neenan

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:46:52 +0000

I am a first year student at the University of the West of England. Our first project this year was to design a typeface based around a word of our choosing. I opted for ‘Pompous’, as it stood out to me from the list. During the project I visited Bristol Cathedral several times, and spent time in and around Bridgwater, looking at anything that I found to be pompous, such as cast-iron work and Baroque architecture. My final design is influenced by Gothic typefaces and raised lead tombstones/plaques. The name ‘Delectatio Morosa’ is Latin for peevish delight, which I discovered whilst looking at different Latin phrases.

“Decaying Thorns” by Josh Bonito (Jbonito)

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 16:52:21 +0000

This is my first fontstruct design for my project in my Graphic Design degree at UWE Bristol. This typeface is based on ‘decay’ and the way it takes shape on objects, almost as if it’s melting/ taking over like some kind of disease. I have also used thorns and the way they wrap around each other, like a snake wrapping itself round it’s pray.

“Molecular” by joshjpatmore

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:53:09 +0000

First year project at the University of the West of England. A typeface inspired by the word 'Dynamic'. The letters are made up of individual DNA molecules. I focused mainly on Molecular Dynamics in terms of inspiration, but i also feel 'dynamic' represents the way in which objects or people interact with one another, therefore i feel the overlapping spheres produce an image that is relevant in different ways. This is best viewed zoomed all the way in.

“Badger Spine” by hollydennis

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:30:17 +0000

This font was created around the theme of decay. I took inspiration from shapes and forms within the pieces of a badger's spine and manipulated them to construct the alphabet. Here is my blog :) > http://hollydennis.tumblr.com/ website> www.hollydennisdesign.com

“Fforest” by tom

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:15:18 +0000

I produced this typeface as part of a project with UWE. Its based on Silhouettes of trees.

“Tangle” by Joanna Claire Mitchell (Claire Mitchell)

An improvement of the former (Headless/Tangle, now called Tangled Hairline); This version is bolder and simpler with more striking 'chaos motion' lines. This version is perhaps more decorative looking than the original and definitely more ordered in the sense of the letterforms to enable usability.

“Viiberz” by Hana Tucker (tucktuck)

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 13:48:38 +0000

This typeface has been created based on the theme 'Vibration'. I tried out a wide range of experimentation when it came to producing hand rendered work, as I felt I needed to work out what would best capture the general sense of the word. I tried using inks on elastic bands, attaching pens to a playstation controller and drawing, photographing food colouring over a speaker; all sorts. Finally, I decided I needed something which really reflected the word clearly. I looked at the white noise and the trails that you get on the television, and applied this feel to a sans serif font I had made based on Georgia (minus the Serifs) One of the most time comsuming things I've ever done, hope its been worth it. Any comments welcome.

“Pandemonium” by SophieBalch

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:14:16 +0000

This font was inspired by the word chaos. Initially to me chaos meant incoherent mess, but after looking at chaos theory i began looking at ways to order chaos. To show this in my font I have used a regimented typeface with repeated ideas of thick and thin lines, but juxtaposed this restriction by forming the letters with chaotic scribbles.

“Voscilate” by sherony

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:57:15 +0000

I made this typeface as part of a project named 'Found Type', basing it on the word 'vibration'. I decided to make my font look like the visual representations of sound, looking at the marks made in the music program GarageBand when I recorded music on it for inspiration. I created a structured base alphabet, and later added lines to make the letters look like sound waves.

“RoyallyStruct” by Femi_i_r

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:48:56 +0000

This font was based on the word pompous. It was created for a typography brief set in my first year at UWE Bristol. From the word pompous I was inspired to look at black letter fonts and ornate styles of decoration. Any feedback would be appreciated! If you use this font within your work please post a link with your final outcome, as its always nice to see your creation in action!

“SwiftedStrokes” by Mike Lee (badgerkins)

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 23:41:24 +0000

This is my first FontStruction while currently studying graphic design at Bristol UWE. Lots of experimentation solely using paints; quick hand movements and flicks to produce a messy, unrefined effect. Working in less than 1 second for each letter (with real paints), used as reference. Inspired by East Asian calligraphy.

“Kaos Theory” by chris.helingoe

Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:25:57 +0000

This is a display font that i have designed during the first term of my Graphic Design degree at UWE Bristol. I started with the word chaos, where i looked into propaganda posters, the breaking of objects and ordered lettering. so using the idea of breaking apart text and overlaying outlines of a the font I created a visual chaos. I believe that the font could be used in promotional posters and other advertising pieces. All feedback is appreciated!

“DerelictGrowth” by Joekozak

Sat, 30 Oct 2010 21:23:00 +0000

First time using Fonstruct. Font designed around the theme of decay, focusing on derelict buildings and areas where nature has begun to take over. Whilst loosely based on the somewhat derelict font, Times New Roman. Welcome any feedback. (work in progress; mainly letter 'R') Best viewed zoomed in slightly.

“Decay of TNR” by Sebastian Bland (blandsdf)

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:45:41 +0000

I began by exploring the theme of decaying objects, such as fruit, and studied the shape (and change of shape) of the objects, as they progressively fell apart. By creating hand drawn sketches i began to create a typeface that looked as though it was rotting/melting away. I used a traditional typeface, Times New Roman, that could be considered as quite boring and a font which has been around for a long time and then used it as a base font which i then made to look as though it was rotting and falling apart by refering back to my earlier sketches. Overall I aimed to create a typeface that represents the decay of an older, more traditional and perhaps overused typeface.
