ALPHABET SOUP: part two

My partner in the brief is Rob Green.

After swapping questionnaires, i picked up on the game "halo" he enjoys.
Decided to look at 'Century Gothic' typeface as my starting point.

• Clean lettering
• Simple and easily read.
• Make it Bold and Italic- show movement and make it stand out more.

A1 sheets that I produced:

First is in colour. There is no outline, trying to convey a bit of 'fun', a bit laid back.

The second I left with no fill. Just a fine liner pen, keeping it simple, which works well also.

I looked at the line thickness of the lettering. I made a mistake on the 'o' so decided then to make the vowels thicker than the rest. Not sure how well this would work when having to put the letters together to create a word.

The 'bowl' in the letters are outlined in a thinner pen, there is too much detail for a thick marker.

This is my final piece. I have changed the 'bowl' in each letter, as there was too much detail, and it didn't work that well. There needed to be more space, like the letter 'e'.

I left the colour, as it didn't work well on tracing paper, and I think it would have changed the quality of the lettering, so I decided to keep it as simple as possible.

After finishing my final piece, we had to use the lettering to produce a name tag for our partner.

The letters work together well, however I think that it would be better if the type wasn't as bold as it is. It makes it difficult to read.

I then started to look at what the typeface would look like if I changed my first font face.

I looked at serifs and how it would change with boldness and italics. I am currently looking at usig illustrator to produce these types faster and easier. I can then change the letters so all are changed the same.
