I created this typeface when set a typography task on my Graphic Design project at UWE. My chosen theme is 'Energy' I took this further by looking into energy drinks and their existing products' labels at the moment. I was inspired by the effective look of bubbles so based my typeface on this. Every letter's bubbles are different which makes it a unique font. This typeface would be best suited promoting events, products and maybe awareness advertising that are linked with fizziness, water or drinks etc.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/728206/fizz_5 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:13:26 +0000
Monospaced typeface designed for my first year project at UWE. The main theme of the font was developed by looking at decaying buildings and structures as well as graffiti artwork. ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/722819/rundown_1 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:03:21 +0000
Originally based on the word 'dynamic', which later led to the development of atoms and everyday structures. My idea is specifically based on 'The Generation of x-rays and Moseley's Law' atom, which led me to branch out and try and interpret everyday structures.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/724466/atom_dynamics Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:00:39 +0000
typographic project based on a key word (curved) with inspiration from the art movements deco and nouveau and heavily influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/725464/curveou Tue, 30 Oct 2012 09:21:29 +0000
This fontstruct was created around the theme of ‘motion’. I drew inspiration from the Da Vinci sketches of the human anatomy which led me to look at muscle fibres, ligaments and tendons. Attributing the interlocking patterns that collagen fibres have or the striations of skeletal muscles, helping me to create a typeface which represents the theme of motion in a static form ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/721116/static_flex Tue, 30 Oct 2012 08:33:23 +0000
A typeface reflecting the relationship between architecture and letter forms. Tones are used as opposed to outlines as not to detract away from the 3D form.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/725415/architext_1 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 23:57:44 +0000
I decided to base a font around timid text, exploring mainly the letters that we can't see. My research for this started in the city, but it became arrparent that most of the more natural, organic and unseen forms lay within the forest. I spent time looking at how the bark forms on trees, but what grabbed me was the way the branches above connected and crossed over to produce a network of hundreds of shapes and lines. It was from this that I created my type, mimicking the sight of branches when you look up through a tree.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/721466/trees_of_mind Mon, 29 Oct 2012 23:03:22 +0000
Balloon Face A fun typeface with a hand rendered feel, inspired by the art of balloon sculpturing. Also a take on the popular graffiti style of bubble writing, as seen and researched in bristol city centre.

A simple well balanced typeface that includes the lowercase a to z along with basic punctuation. This font is based on toothpaste which was derived from the theme of squidgy. I have used half tone to emulate shading, and will also make a clean version.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/725018/get_pasted Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:51:37 +0000
1st year Graphic Design student at Bristol UWE: A font based on natural reptition, focusing specifically on the the human skelton and the reptition of bones to form a structure. Combining the elements of the human skeleton with the butterflies spine (thorax) and the geometric shape and structure of the wings. ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/724380/thorax Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:50:15 +0000
A reflection in history. This typeface design has been created for my first typography project at UWE Bristol. it has been inspired by Bristol's past Tobacco history by taking inspiration from the architectural elements of the disused Tobacco warehouses that still stand prominent in the Southville area of the city. After studying the buildings and making site visits to take photographs from all 4 sides of the warehouse, i started to look at how i could create the letter forms by using the occurring perspective of the building in relation to where i was stood. What i most like about the whole design is it not an obvious 'Reflection' inspired design and for me that has made this project a success. Later on this design will be constructed into a 3D word, where i intend to make the letters out of Red Brick like the buildings themselves.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/723333/tobacco_factory Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:14:24 +0000
This is a font based on the concept of how little of a character must be shown in order to recognize that character,in the idea of wooden letters carved including the frame. Largely inspired by Wim Crouwels New Alphabet. Not complete, reworking dimensions of the characters within the frame.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/717495/framework_5 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:31:42 +0000
Part 2 in a series. Best viewed small. This is for my first project at uwe bristol, it was my first time using the software fontstruction. Influenced by a book named 'elsewhere'. It isn't completely finished and some letters are in the process of being changed. Extra characters coming soon...]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/725956/cast_a_dotted_shadow Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:41:05 +0000

This font was made as a response to a brief given to me for my Graphic Design course. we were invited to chose a theme for a list of words, I chose decay. My inspiration originally came from my everyday walk to Uni; past old factories, over a disused railway bridge and past an old cricket ground. I then started to broaden my view of decay and looked at the way it effects different things including the decay theory (a theory used my psychologists about memory) and then finally I narrowed it down to dead tress. The finally font has been inspired by the illustrations of Tim Burton. ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/721042/winter_branches Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:56:48 +0000

This is my first Fonstruction whilst studying my degree in Graphic Design at UWE. It is themed 'dynamic', however once i started research and mind mapping i went more in the direction of dynamic dance and movement; which is what lead me to looking at ribbons and ballet. I wanted to bring the letterforms back towards the dynamic theme, so decided to make the sides and corners more angular. With some of the letters i tried to create a joined up handwriting feel, inspired by the way that ribbon floats and would fall if it was making the letters naturally. ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/719327/angular_ribbon Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:50:52 +0000
Part of my "Found Type" project at UWE where we had to design a font for a theme that we chose. I chose Saintly. Throughout my research, I looked at the architecture of churches, the similarities in there designs and how certain shapes could easily be recognised as being linked to that type of architecture. I then started looking at Dante Alghieri's Divine Comedy and the illustrations by John Flaxman and Gustav Doré. At first it became difficult trying to figure out how to implement this into a font, but then I took on a challenge, Would it be possible to get Doré's engravings into the font. Then another thought crossed my mind, how do images look when compressed to low pixel quality sizes and how they are still recognisable. So I did that, I bought a book of Doré's illustrations for the divine comedy, and they started to build into the letters. Each letter also has this Art Deco like area to it which went well for the Stain Glass Window approach I also wanted in the design. It took a lot of practice to get this right, and there was a fair amount of copy and pasting here and there but overall I'm quite happy with the turn out. I hope you all enjoy!]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/721671/dor_s_comedia Mon, 29 Oct 2012 01:15:06 +0000
This typeface is based on the theme of "Vibration". From the beginning I wanted to create a unique design, looking at sound I decided to use my voice as the starting point. After recording myself pronouncing the alphabet and uploading it to a sound editor I looked at the different shapes and patterns it created. This was my voice that was unique to me and was the inspiration for the typeface. I then researched fonts and looked at bold, chunky designs which could hold the pattern without taking too much away from the letter form as it was important to me that my design was still legible. I decided to use the corresponding sound with the letter (i.e. the A has my pronunciation of the letter running through it)making it different from anything I have seen before. Please comment and share your opinions. Thank You ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/721133/white_noise_6 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 22:36:05 +0000
