Week One, physical Studio Typography

Here we were tasked with learning about three typographers, and using their influences to help inform the starting basics of our own set of type, making three distinct typefaces for the letters A, N, E, S and G.

The first typeface I began developing was based upon a runic design, partially inspired by the alphabets used in The Lord of The Rings.

The second was slightly more geometrically informed, using only straight lines with a cartoonish extrusion and shading.

The last was extremely geometrically informed, being created exclusively with triangles.

About Me

I was told to make a blog, for university, and people took this very seriously. And I'm not saying that I haven't (or that there's anything wrong with serious) but I think the best work is made when you are having fun and enjoying what you do. So I'm going to make this enjoyable; both for me and those who end up reading it. And what's more fun than being corporate?! Wait. That doesn't sound correct at all. No matter! I've turned this blog (and myself!) into a brand! A company! An idea... and as batman always says, ideas can't be killed. (But I can please don't kill me) Wow. I am getting sidetracked. Fun! Excitement! Intrigue... These are some of the things you may or may not find here. Because it's mostly going to be graphics work. And writings, about graphics work. Probably both... But I've been known to do what I please. I'm a maverick, a loose cannon. You don't know what I'm going to do next. Probably some really good work. I ran out of things to say about 2 paragraphs ago, what are you still doing here? You should really be looking at all my academic work, it’s much more impressive and interesting than, whatever this is.
