Clone of Thunderball. When wanting to make this font lighter, I realised it made the font look rugged. But I liked it, so I stayed with it. This is a clone of Thunderball

For my first project at Uwe I had to produce a type face based on a word i chose from a list,I chose decay and wanted to look into how sea rope ages and decays.

Living in the shadows. Many children during the second world war were forced to hide for their lives, in dark confined spaces and remain extremely quiet, sometimes for months. My fontstruct typography 'scattered light' was created as part of a design brief given by UWE bristol, the theme followed the word shadow, and thought out the development of the font i looked at the light and shadows created as well as the rays or holes of light that would make it through small gaps. This was sometimes all the light they would see. I've tried to replicate this and take further inspiration from the decayed walls photographed after the war. The font is white on a black background, to symbolize the shadows/darkness they lived in. The font resembles scattered light and decayed surfaces from that period in time.

a research into dementia. This designed typeface represents the process of memory loss. Diagnosed, you lose all connections that you once took for granted. Now they are slowly drifting away from their once true and solid form.
I wanted my typeface to appear slightly un-legible as a whole, but with it's original form still present.

This is the second of two typefaces that I have created in response to a brief set in my first term studying Graphic Design at UWE Bristol. My chosen theme for the six week project was decay. I decided to create two fonts, an original and a decayed version. I took inspiration from photos I took of graffiti and tagging around Bristol. For this specific font I was inspired by the way graffiti changes and breaks down over time. 'Decayed Spray' is my interpretation of the spray painted letter forms that crowd the walls of this city... after weather and humans have done their thing for a fair few years. www.jenniferlouisejohnson.tumblr.com This is a clone of spray

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.

When be began the project on designing my own typeface, I had to design and create it relating to a specific theme. I chose to focus my design on the theme of 'Decay'.
From the beginning, I wanted to create typeface which represented a very basic idea of the the theme of Decay. I looked at all possible avenues that I could take into design consideration and ended up coming with some interesting concepts I could use.
I started looking at the idea of Decay throughout technology. I began taking photos as well as researching forms of decay in technology. The one aspect which kept coming up were computer keyboards. I found plenty of images of keyboards with decay, which then acted as a key influence for my work.
The idea for having my typeface created in the style of computer keys was quite unique to me. When in the creation process, I created the key design as well as the letter-forms which I had mapped out using graph paper. I was then to add the appearance of decay to the letter-forms afterwards.
I then started coming up with styles of decay I could incorporate into the letter-forms. I wanted to have a clear representation of the theme, but keep it in the style/representation of computers. i.e Pixels.
I messed around with one of the letter-forms with a basic pixel appearance of decay. When zoomed in, it didn't look like the standard I wanted it to be, but when zoomed out, the pixels came together to present the them in detail. I then went ahead and applied the feature to all of the letter-forms and punctuation symbols. The typeface was finally complete.

UWE 'Communicating With Words' Graphic Design project.
I chose to look at the theme 'Decay', and was inspired by Andy Goldsworthy, Anna Garforth, Daniele Del Nero, and natural occurrences such as rotting fruit and mould.
I grew mould and made observational sketches, experimenting with a range of drawing techniques.
I then drew out my font, and used graph paper to translate it into pixels.
I feel this font could be used for things such as health posters for sexual health or smoking advertisements, or in children's books, due to the natural rounded quality.

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.

i created this font as part of a graphic design project while studying at uwe. i chose the theme of decay and after research and development decided to go with the idea of radioactive decay. i really like the particle effect. the inspiration for this came from images from electron microscopes i found during my research. the build up of particles that make up solid objects is really interesting to me. i wanted to capture the idea of the many tiny particles so i made my font rather large using many circular tiles to gain detail in my letters.

This is the typeface I have created in response to my university brief - to create a typeface using the software fontstuct. I choose the theme decay and after research my font is based on the decay found in urban areas, specifically old industrial American areas such as Detroit and the font found there.This is a clone of Detroit Decay Bold

I created this font to explore the basic shapes within origami and paper folding, this also led to the creation of my other font 'Decami' which further explores ripped or decayed origami.

My name's Josh and I'm a graphic design first year student at the University of the West of England. This is my typeface, Crumble, developed from the theme of decay. As my first time using FontStruct I struggled at first getting the feel of the programme and this is my final outcome. Throughout the process of creating my alphabet I realised some limitations I’d inadvertently set myself and therefore had to simplify my design, however the end result is one that I find effective due to this simplicity.

my name is fiona hobson and I am a student at UWE and after exploring decay through varies areas,urban decay rotting food etc i decided to look at thing i thought represented deca without showing it exactly this is where i thought of flies. flies buzz around dead beings as well as rotting food so decided to base my typeface around this.This is a clone

Hi! My name is Patricia and I study Graphic Design at UWE. As part of my project I decided to use decay as the theme for my font. I started my research by photographing old building, rusty metal, broken brick, etc. Then I started experimenting and looking at other decay fonts, this is when I decided that I didn't want my font to have the typical broken appearance. So I decided to go for more of a scratchy, rough and uneven font. This is a clone

I created this font using the subject matter 'decay'. I am an amateur, having never used fontstruct before and only ever created hand rendered fonts or type via letter press this was a challenge! It is by no means perfect (I will finish the x,y and z shortly when my internet stops giving me grief). I have already tried to type this description several times but fontstruct persistently signs me out every time I reach a crucial stage in my production :( feel free to interpret how you wish! It is entitled burn but I believe and have been told that the patterns also resemble mouldy old fruit/veg and general decay - lovely!

First year Graphic's Student at uwe, this was part of a project where i was given the word decay, and had to go about designing a display font based around this word. So i went out and looked at decaying locations around bristol. I was influenced by fly posters on walls which had been layered up overtime. I experimented with post it notes to see what effects i could get from that, and this is what i ended up with.

This is my first fontstruct design for my project in my Graphic Design degree at UWE Bristol. This typeface is based on ‘decay’ and the way it takes shape on objects, almost as if it’s melting/ taking over like some kind of disease. I have also used thorns and the way they wrap around each other, like a snake wrapping itself round it’s pray.

The theme behind this piece is decay. I started by experimenting with the things that immediately spring to mind when you think of decay; crumbling walls, rotting vegetables, peeling paint...
Then I found the definition of decay in physics 'transformation of an elementary particle into two or more different particles.' and biological decay 'to break down into component parts.' After experimenting with different ways of breaking up a typeface, I came up with this. A sort of abstract representation of scientific decay.
To create the long, thin diagonal lines, I had to do it on a huge scale, filling almost 3 'screens' in height with each letter. Sadly this meant it's impossible to download the font. E F G O and Q still need a bit of work as they stand out to much.

This is a font that I have created as part of a project at UWE. We were given a list of words to choose from that would inspire our font. I chose the word 'decay' and chose to research into urban decay as well as general decaying objects and buildings. Each letter of my font relates closely to a photograph that I have taken as inspiration, I think this way the letters look more like the realistic object that they are meant to represent.

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.
