Hey folks, Well another project on the go is one entitled 3D Letterform, we needed to choose a typeface out of Times, Palatino, Garamond, or Arial Black, I chose Times for its historical significance, and its interesting shapes in its bold weight.

Although probably more popular for its use in body copy, the typeface designed for a popular newsprint called Times.

My letter of choice which was either a P or  an S from my initials of my name. I went with P. The first part of this project was to hand draw the letter of choice. Below is a scan.

As you can see, I was never going to be a brain surgeon. But what it does illustrate is a few things, Firstly how much time it must have taken the original typographers to create the font, secondly, how easy it is to create ‘perfect’ on a computer through use of vector formulae. thirdly, on a computer this P looks like I did it with my eyes closed, and not carefully and pedantically I actually did.

cheers,
