@3moDuDe // FontOut1 ends 10 June. The contest is bi-weekly.
@cablecomputer // Of course!
Why do you try creating glyphs in FS that look like they should've been created with another software? I mean, isn't it easier to use professional software like illustrator, fontcreator etc for creating this kind of glyphs? Why bother using bezier angles in FS?
Thanks!
@Abneurone // Love that last sample!
Here's my recent a.
a tasbaqa was actually based on a small a. It means turtle, and four a's in a title stand for four turtle ninja characters.
FS has provided me with the means to enjoy crafting fonts (and even to add a little to my pension through selling them).
It's curious that some people feel the need to constantly snipe at those of us who harmlessly and innocently amuse ourselves here ... just because we do something different to them. I try to embrace the work of all who use this wonderful application ... even those who repeatedly churn out stuff that I neither like nor rate very highly ... I have yet to make a disparaging comment about those who aspire to 'art' rather than 'craft' - and I don't intend to now.
So let's just live and let live - ok?
@p2pnut, laynecom // I completely agree!
@Abneurone // I think I basically get what you're saying, even if I can't understand some of it :-)
My work here at FS offers me a different form of challenge (and relaxation). Yes, I have attempted to reproduce some fine old classics, but I have also created some entirely orginal designs.
Having created something, however, I usually move on to something different (a new medium ... or here, a new style). I find it difficult to understand those artists who just endlessly churn out similar variations on a theme. It is seen in those who have created thousands of versions of the square/rectangle ... Malevich, Argento, Mondrian, Rothko, Diebenkorn etc.
So, I may just be a craftsman - but at least I try to vary my output.
By the way - this started when architaraz asked why we didn't just use expensive software - I hope my answer to that suffices.
@p2p, Abneurone // I don't think this is the place to have a discussion about art. This is corny, but let's respect our differences, okay? :-)
Sorry, but this seems unfair. Like the Top Pick case by neurone, meek seems only choose a Top Pick in his likes (sorry meek).
Here's an idea,
Voting starts after 7 days of submitting font.
People can vote via comments, by adding hashtag "fontout it will be considered as a vote.
Each vote will be counted 1 point. A vote by the demonics (the admin) may be counted 2 or more...
Voting time is 7 days.
EXAMPLE:
The a is so cool.... #fontout.
//That's one vote.//
Just an idea, demonix. It's all up to you :)
Idk how to fix it :/
Also, two things:
1 My vote should only count as one
2 The contest will end at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on Saturday 9 June, which gives me time to announce the winner before FontOut2 starts. Sound good? :-)
About the quote of voting, it's up to them. The important thing is just the hashtag (#). That's only an example...
About the time, sounds good. But, will the days of font submitting "overlaps" with the voting time?
@u126, Yautja // I think it's going to be fine. I say anyone can vote.
@four, Yautja // Awesome job! Love that minimalism! Keep up the good work.
I guess voting and submitting will have to overlap so get 'em in quick!
Nice one! Reminds me some works of AFT. When are you planning on publishing it?
@Yautja:
Nice one! Also reminds me some works of AFT. Knowing how quick you are, I guess I'll be seeing it published soon :)
@AFT:
You're first "a" (30th May) looks like a letter to me and the second (31 May) looks like a drawing, and having seen almost every font of yours, I still can't remember them :)
@geneus1:
Unbelievable!
super minimal and my FAV of this fontout so far!
you need to released the corresponding fontstructing… or is it yet?
It's true that the "a" from Four resemble some of mine, particularly on "The orgians", but i think these kinds work better in context than alone, that's why i chose more baroque and pictorial ones for the samples.
@AFT: Thanks :) I can't say I was thinking of tipis when I made it, but I made it look like it was made by forceful, unjoined pen strokes, and to look a little like the A for Anarchy. But I wrote CHAOS on the picture because it serves as a reminder of the direction I feel like the world is taking: Away from order, into chaos.
Time requirements
FontOut voting starts now and ends 9 June 2012 17:00 GMT. The last time you can upload a sample is also 9 June 2012 17:00 GMT.

3rd: Cablecomputer, 1st sample
1st: Geneus1
2nd: Architaraz 2nd sample
3rd: Cablecomputer 3rd sample
1st: architaraz, last sample (not so much the a but I love the typeface as such and I'd love to see how you did it)

@AFT: What's the font behind your "Sun, 3rd June, 8:05 AM"-sample? I love it and would like to see the whole font.
Thanks! There's no secret there actually, look for yourself, it's clonable now, hope it will help.

Great job, all FontOut participants!
Thanks.
