I designed this typeface for a university project 2 years ago. It never really got used and got left at the far reaches of my hard drive. I have since revisited it and improved upon it. I also decided that I would try my hand at presenting it in a certain style as a way... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 13
Today was, very much, another type orientated day. A little bit of sketch book work, followed up by some illustrator to smooth off those curves and realise the sketches in digital form. I've noticed a large improvement in my ability to do quick sketches of letter forms (primarily the letter "a") just to get my... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 10

Bouncy Text in After Effects!
I've just finished some quick experimentation in After Effects. The experiment was in aid of my self authoted brief animation which i am going to be produing. This is a short seven second typographic animation, which consists of the text bouncing, falling, spinning and with added motion blur. Tom out!
Africa Type Experiment!
This is the latest type experiment that I have played with. It is yet unfinished and this is just the initial stage of the design. I would like to create a whole typeface in this style. I have tried to evoke Africa through the use of sharp triangles, the reason for this is i feel... Continue Reading →
