First year UWE student. Our task was to create a typeface based on a chosen word. I picked 'energy' and went on to look at sci-fi concept art and power stations, as well as all things radiating. just filled in a little.

“Broken Hearts 1.0” by geezer123

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:23:09 +0000

Following an idea I had a year ago (I thought that a heart shape would form the basis for a neat lower case a) I've been designing and implementing this font for about 4 months. Composite blocks are now my best friend; Fontstruct's nasty habit of defaulting to cycle pen style whenever it feels like it is my worst enemy. I was going to wait until I finished designing and implementing 2, 4 and 5 before making this public, but I need a break. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know. But don't be too typographically technical on me; I'm not a designer, just an old retired engineer who has always liked to play with blocks.

This is my final font for my task at UWE. I wanted to keep it really simple and free. I would greatly appreciate any positive and negative feedback! Please tell me what you think and what I could improve on as this is one of my first published fonts.

“Gearbox” by leafhunter

A display font loosely based on an old Renault GearBox. Allignment and spacing issues are still to be resolved. Will do over the next couple of days any comments on it would be great

“Yellow's Foe” by Alexander Ward (wardaj)

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:11:27 +0000

UPDATE: I have altered the letters 'U', 'H' and 'X' in order to increase legibility. - 14/11/11 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.'

“FloMotion” by Dan-noR

The font Flomotion is the outcome to my first semester at UWE, studying Graphic Design. The task was to create a full typeface on the font building website, fontstruct.com. The final design had to relate to a chosen theme, my chosen theme for this project was Motion in which I pursued the subject of optical illusions. I liked the idea of trying to create a false sense of movement with a font, taking inspiration from existing optical illusions with the same effect. This then led me to look at the 'Op' art movement of the 1960's, in particular the extensive work of Bridget Riley. Her use of black and white line giving the illusion of depth had a big influence on my work and I think my final design reflects this.

“Ground Zero” by Stephanie Weise (sweise)

I started this typeface from the word 'chaos', and from that word looked into things like wars and riots; ineffectually looking into the after affects of chaos. This led me to look into such large scale events as Hiroshima, and the wreckage of that chaos inspired this typeface.
