Alphabet design developed for my UWE project. My chosen theme was vibrations I decided to look at morse code and see how messages are transmitted leading up to my design. Im always open to feedback. ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/896939/vorse_2 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:56:44 +0000
Starting from the word 'squishy', I thought about how children play with very tactile things. If something has a tactile nature it will appeal to children to play with it and 'squish' it. From this I explored how sponges are very squeezable and photographed them in different ways. Alongside this thought process I was also sketching water in letter forms and loved how it appears to have a squishy texture in itself because it is fluid. Combining these ideas, I experimented with cutting sponges into letter forms, applying paint, squishing them and creating a typeface based on the marks they leave behind on a laminate table surface.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/884483/not_on_the_table_kids Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:45:32 +0000
First fontstruction by the theme of 'ornate'. An all caps display font with sharp accents, crisp lines and solid highlights inspired by black letter. Not at all complete and would appreciate any comments.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/889806/blakkor Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:53:16 +0000
First attempt at designing my alphabet for my UWE Module. My chosen theme was vibrations. I decided to look at morse code and create letterforms from dashes. I would appericate any constructive criticsm for me to develope my design better. Some letters still need tweeking. ]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/893651/vorse Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:02:58 +0000
Starting with the word 'decay', I went very literal with my typeface by observing the shrivelling skin and flesh of fruit. How the process of decay distorts and deforms an image but yet, can still remain constant. I continued to develop this idea but struggled to recreate it using fontstruct. So back to the drawing board and after further primary research looking at fungi, foliage and rust along the river path, I began sketching the weed 'horse weed'. In its dried state I found letterforms manifesting in the stems and seed pods and developed these sketches further, then recreated them on fontstruct. I encountered many difficulties at first as the design appeared more of a pixel drawing than a typeface. Deciding that I would be able to get finer detail by creating it on a larger scale I did some experimentation with various bricks before determining that the half pixel brick gave me the effect I desired.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/893453/parched_1 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 20:53:39 +0000
My first attempt at Fontstruct for my project at The University of the West of England. This font is based on the theme word that I chose, Dynamic. I decided to look at the city and went with the idea of contrasting angles. I began by creating a simple base character then modified it to suit my theme.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/883775/paragon_4 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 22:20:49 +0000
