Type

Whilst looking (not LUKING) into typefaces i wanted to find some
hand made typefaces as our new project is to design type by hand
so i found some interesting type on the internet...

I love how basic typefaces have been altered to make a various amount of new type
all by altering areas of type such as the stroke, decender, counter and serif etc...

I then looked at some more type...

As soon as i saw this it popped out to me, all by the use of colour to give
a 3D kind of effect, however i was quite interested to step out my boundries
and find a more hand made kind of typeface, it was then when i discovered this image...

A whole typeface built up of bent nails. i thought this was pretty neat how it stepped out
of the basic boundries and went further on into discovery (which was one of my ten words for the brief)

I wanted to then have a play around with a type..

We decided to choose the letters i, d and e in random order
and stuck them to a door at Liberty Park to render a feeling of
personality towards the person who lived there, Mitch... aka Newt
the self harmer. We thought that the knifes resembled his personality
and his pass times and hobbies... self harm

i think it worked and resembled him very well, so does he.
However the following image has been deleted to ensure no one gets hurt who sees it.
