MISSING TYPE - I got the idea of this font as I was on the train looking out the window at the tracks. I noticed that a couple of the tracks were missing and at the same time I had my sketchbook out so I started to draw train tracks which then lead to a font.

For part of my type project, I had to find a famous book, which dint have the best book cover and re-design it for a poster. I looked at many books but typography sketchbook was the one that stood out for me.

I started my design off, by coming up with many pages of thumbnails then narrowed it down to my top 5. Once I chose my top 5 designs, I got my class to pick my best thumbnail then I developed it up. I added a small description of the book into the poster, so that people would know what the poster is for.

The graphics and Art department in my college held a self portrait exhi-bition, were we was aloud to enter any self portraits designs. I wanted to experiment using different materials, so I used Photoshop to merge pho-tography and charcoal drawings together.

I decided to create a foldable font when I saw a strip of pa-per on the floor that looked like the letter N. I initially created several of the letters by hand, exploring the different folded angles. I quickly decided that I preferred 90 degree folds as these were cleaner in appearance than 45 degrees and the angles were supported by squared horizontal or verti-cal lines. After I had decided on a method and a style to my fonts I transferred them into Illustrator as vector graphics. I had to make sure each letter was the same sizes, I had trouble with letters like M which had a wider letter-space, it’s also my favourite character.

I spent the whole day coming up with illustrations that I place onto T-shirt. I chose this one because it stood out from the other, so I developed it in illustrator and made it vector.

This ides came from my sketchbook, then I decided to develop it using illustrator to make it vector. I decided to use bright colours like orange to make it pop out more. I also added a plug at the end to make the design look more like a cable.

Black hole typeface all started from this sketch I did on the train last year then I found it under my bed and decided to make a Type Face out of it. I developed it in illustrator, so that it would stay vector when zoomed in.

For my final major project I went on a trip to Brighton to collect primary research. I found this gallery shop called “NO WALLS” were they had a lot of work from the students of Brighton university and locals in it. I talked to a couple of students and told them was I was doing for my final major project and they gave me some good advice and showed me there journals they made in the past.
