final poster……. oh so late

well better late than never! however 30% will be coming off… the final look of my font is really pleasing… colouring in the letters black really made it look better as only outlining the letters showed the imperfections of my unsteady hand.

I think my font is unique and I really do feel it has turned out really good. I named my font Slav which links it back to being Bulgarian and being Slavic. In my poster I ran out of room so the font is Sl@v so that i could include my @ symbol.

lowercase and numbers….

it takes so long to do this!!!!

first you have to do in pencil and it looks pretty off… (kind of ugly) but as soon as you go over it in a fine liner it looks a million times better.

Finished uppercase letters…

here they are…..

square or round???

So continuing with the alphabet posed some questions as to how i would proceed… whether i would keep it all square or have round bits….

after talking to peter i decided that rounded lettering would be better so it flowed better and also because he said my square O looked like a television…….

ALPHABET – font inspiration

Here is the font that I found online when i was looking for inspiration…

I think that the capital A was what really got me started on my own design plus the influence of peter mcgill to use serifs made it a more unique design and truly my own… well at least i think so!

so this was the first letter i ever did of my alphabet…

after this i decided that my rule for my alphabet would be to have it thick and thin from left to right… and serifs were to be used throughout as well….

Peter McGill said that it reminded him of old Russian fonts, which made me happy as I am Bulgarian and Russian and Bulgarian are both Slavic countries and have the same cyrillic alphabet…. Felt nice and close to home.

ALPHABET

Having 5 days of working into the wee hours of the morning (wednesday to sunday) and hardly any sleep left me crippled for 2 days unable to move with massive migrane headaches.

So my process for my alphabet will have to come all at once but the photos show the process throughout the weeks.

When first given the assessment and I wanted to do a fury font. I wanted to do that because of a font I used for my inspiration for the ideas generation class…

But I was made all too aware that trying to create a fantasy font like this would be very difficult because of all the letters and numbers would have to follow the same rules…
