The initial theme for my project was "Decay" where I researched different types of rotting, erosion and decay of quality in every day objects. I then came to look at crumbling brick walls and developed my font from there. I've tried to show a lack in defined edges and emphasise  a crumbled, smudgey typeface. I think it could be used as a relatively playful font,but could have strong impact if used for communicating the idea of decay or decompositon. This is a bold font, meant to be used big!

For my project I went with the theme of laziness (after an early failed attempt at using the theme of repetition).

Whilst researching my theme I looked into the things people like doing best when feeling lazy, two very popular activities were smoking and sleeping. I wanted to create a simple/clean typeface that had a lazy feel to it. I tried to avoid giving it a predictable slouched look and thought a smokey/dreamy effect would work well for a font and also link to my research.

I wanted to incorporate the smoking and sleeping/dreaming themes into the name and thought 'Pipe Dream' was perfect as it relates to both smoking and dreaming.

Initially the typeface was inspired by the product of organic decay. I cut out strawberries, apples and tomatoes in the shape of letters and left them to decay on a sheet of paper. When removing them, they left an interesting stained mark on the paper which I used as my basis for the letter forms. Latterly I have used the typeface "Hobo Std" as inspiration because of it's curvaceous body and similarity to the remaining marks of the fruit and vegetables. It is a display font having because of it's better readability on larger sizes. This due to the stained effect as well as the letters are bold.

so using the idea of breaking apart text and overlaying outlines of a the font I created a visual chaos.

The outcome of my first Graphic Design project at the University of the West of England. This typeface is based on the designated theme of 'Evil'. As the project developed I began to move away from the rather stereotypical 'dark' imagery commonly associated with evil and approached the topic in a different, light-hearted manner. This led me onto the theme of villainy in popular culture, from film to video games. The classic ghosts of the arcade game Pac-Man are designed with such consideration - they are required to communicate both character and threat to the player, whilst still falling within the limitations of the 1980s hardware. As a result, these creatures personify the concept of 'evil stripped down to its essential forms.'UPDATE%3A%20I%20have%20altered%20the%20letters%20%27U%27%2C%20%27H%27%20and%20%27X%27%20in%20order%20to%20increase%20legibility.%20-%2014%2F11%2F11%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20outcome%20of%20my%20first%20Graphic%20Design%20project%20at%20the%20University%20of%20the%20West%20of%20England.%20This%20typeface%20is%20based%20on%20the%20designated%20theme%20of%20%27Evil%27.%20As%20the%20project%20developed%20I%20began%20to%20move%20away%20from%20the%20rather%20stereotypical%20%27dark%27%20imagery%20commonly%20associated%20with%20evil%20and%20approached%20the%20topic%20in%20a%20different%2C%20light-hearted%20manner.%20This%20led%20me%20onto%20the%20theme%20of%20villainy%20in%20popular%20culture%2C%20from%20film%20to%20video%20games.%20The%20classic%20ghosts%20of%20the%20arcade%20game%20Pac-Man%20are%20designed%20with%20such%20consideration%20-%20they%20are%20required%20to%20communicate%20both%20character%20and%20threat%20to%20the%20player%2C%20whilst%20still%20falling%20within%20the%20limitations%20of%20the%201980s%20hardware.%20As%20a%20result%2C%20these%20creatures%20personify%20the%20concept%20of%20%27evil%20stripped%20down%20to%20its%20essential%20forms.%27
