To begin with I was shown the work of other designers and artists which I could use as an influence and reference when creating my own typeface. Then using the references provided or my own I was asked to transcribe shapes to make letter forms and typographic characters; these could be in either lowercase or uppercase. The main letters that I needed to create were ANESG as if I can get these to work then it is more than likely the rest of the letters in the typeface would work.
Materials Used:
ruler
pair of compasses
reference samples
2b pencil
A3 paper
Below are my first attempts at creating letters for my own typeface:
I have used a few influences for my creations these include the works of El Lissitzky, Walter Gropius, Bauhaus and Herbert Bayer. The work of all these artists and designers are quite different and therefore this has transferred in to my outcomes that I have created.
