Type Experimentation

At the moment im exploring different ways to visualy repersent the word
Explorative, ive broke it down to other words which discribe this:

Explore
Find
Discover
Search


With this i instantly thought of using differnt items which are used to show this
the first and most obvious one is the classic magnifying glass to build a type face up

I researched into a font named Unanimous which basicaly looked like this...

To me this fitted in perfectly with the frame of the magnifying glass.
Here is an example of a letter i designed in rough...

But Yeahhh i think its *Explicit Deleted* mint aha
i love the out come and how it fits in with the word simply by
playing around with the shape of a magnifying glass ;)

Another thing ive experimented with (also to do with discovery, search etc) is a typeface
built up of finger prints, i believe this links to Mystery and states there is more to the person
than it seams which would link into quite a few more of my words.

For this i searched for a messyish font that could be used as a stencil.
yes stencil, as i am going over the letters with my finger, the structure of the
typeface changes completely...

This is the font i chose, as it was the right kind of look to be manipulated with my fingers :)
