My Final 'Sharp' Fontstruct that I created for my University project in Graphic Design.
I thought for a long time what to do with the font and decided to try make it quite clean but different at the same time. My main focus on this Font was to make sure it was clean enough to read without any difficulties. That i think i've achieved.

This san serif is a typeface using geometric, and digital inspiration. The use of the terminals is some of the letters was in an attempt to keep the lines from not being doubled up with a thick width. The end result is a simple san serif.

First of all i was looking at architecture and the curve designs on the collumns of buildings, then moving on with my idea i started by experimenting with ink, looking at how it reacts in water, and filming ink being dropped into water. I then moved onto simply dropping ink into and page to see how it fell, then using the dropplets i created this font.

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.This is a clone

My font was originally based on the word 'curves',
this lead to looking at the fluid movements of strings through the process of stitching. My aim was to create a type face which explored the freedom of the process you undergo when sewing by hand.

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.

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 typeface centred around the key theme/word 'shadow'. I started looking at how the time of day effected the shape and the size of the subsequent shadow cast. However, I then moved onto the ideas of bevels and a more subtle shadow effect created by raised centres of the letterforms. The 'impossible triangle' effect came from a idea that was brought up in a critique about 'extending it and making it really elaborate'. The name is chosen because I think that typefaces should have friendly names.

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.

The simplistic font In arms was created around the theme of curves. I was interested in the curves of the human form (primarily the form and shapes of the arms and hands) The font is not perfect and not symmetrical, just like the human form.

This is a project for my Graphic Design course in UWE. The theme is called Vibration and this font is based on sound waves. I did quite a few experiments before coming out with this final font. I looked at different types of vibrations and the movement of the waves. I decided to work with lines because it gives the font a sense of motion.This is a clone

As part of a project for my graphic design course at UWE, our brief was to create a typeface based on a theme. I chose vibration as my theme as I explored my theme I was drawn to line graphs which help record the frequency of sounds. I wanted my typeface to resemble this like it was on an ECG monitor. I also looked at John Skelton’s pinpression typeface which truly inspired my font, having continuous lines connecting all of the characters was very important and finding his work showed me that it was possible. This is my first attempt at creating a typeface and there are still alterations that need to be done.

The finished product from the first communicating with words module at UWE in Bristol. My font is based on the word 'Ornate'. At first I started looking at Iron gates, Jewelry, but after spending about a week trying to make curves on fontstruct and failing each time, i decided to look at native american print and aztec design.

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.

inspired by analysing ques forming, mainly at pubs. In addition to experimention with double sided sticky tape and corrigated card to reflect results found. I think the font has a 'tribal' aesthetic about it consequently, first fonstruction...first year project at UWE... theme chosen was 'order' (work in progress)

Font based on the ergonomics of a knife. Because of the wide nature of the font, its best to use it on a large scale.
