UPDATE: I have altered the letters 'U', 'H' and 'X' in order to increase legibility. - 14/11/11
The outcome of my first Graphic Design project at the University of the West of England. This typeface is based on the designated theme of 'Evil'. As the project developed I began to move away from the rather stereotypical 'dark' imagery commonly associated with evil and approached the topic in a different, light-hearted manner. This led me onto the theme of villainy in popular culture, from film to video games. The classic ghosts of the arcade game Pac-Man are designed with such consideration - they are required to communicate both character and threat to the player, whilst still falling within the limitations of the 1980s hardware. As a result, these creatures personify the concept of 'evil stripped down to its essential forms.'

"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
- Pablo Picasso
Inspired by the eagerness of children. I wanted to create a playful typeface which at the same time pushed Fontstruct to it's limits. This certainly succeeded in the second. I spent lots of time playing with wax crayons. Who says an artist has to grow up?
Just heads up, this font is a bit of a system killer due to the size and complexity of the glyphs so be patient and gentle when using it.

My first experimentation with Fontstruct. I set myself rules in that all letters must fit to 4x5 squares, and contain 4 circular bricks and 4 elongated bricks. The end result strikes me as a combination of organic and technological forms.

This is my second fontstruction for a project during the first term of my study in Graphic Design at UWE.
I have based this typeface on a similar (un-named) font that has been found in a Typefounders Catalogue dated before 1955, I really liked a lot of the ornate qualities and decided to bring this forgotten typeface into the modern day by replicating features of it through this digital medium.

As part of my first project on the Graphic Design BA Hons degree at UWE, we were asked to design a font based on a theme. The theme I chose was motion. I started with a few different ideas and by sketching and practising on here I ended up choosing skidmarks found on the road left by cars. Using the lines that the tyremarks leave, I created this font. I've kept it simple, which is how I prefer my work to be. I think the clean lines that I've used also make it resemble the tracks of a scalextric set.

This typeface was created around the theme "shadow". Without light shadows cannot exist, the typeface explores the presence of shadows around intense light concentrated on an area (in this case in the shape of alphabets). For each letter the lower cases are bound to the upper cases showing the relationship between light and darkThis is a clone
