Met my type

After hours of experimenting with various typefaces, I finally created my own typeface. And that's when it hit me. The beauty of type. Staring at my name designed in a form inspired by script, I came to realise the importance of type and the difference one small change can make to it. Just like images, type also requires creativity and exploration of ideas. It also requires precision, time and effort.

Don't cross the line

In today's class we practiced how to draw out typefaces. It was a difficult task at first because I had to be extremely precise in my spacing and lines. However after some practice, I got used to it and started enjoying the process. It gave me a new insight into the importance of typography and the care that was taken by initial designers to create such delicate typefaces.
