Hey it's Fey!
I should probably put something here, at least get this off the ground. Work out some intentions here.
• Bullet Journals (Spreads and rambles, what works what didn't)
• Study Notes (I've been diving into iron metabolism and the effect of iron on different systems and organs throughout the body)
• Music Reviews (Something I've wanted to try and do. It might be worth going back to some old favourites to get started.)
TYPOGRAPHY SKETCHBOOK - PRACTICE TASK 3: Draw With Shapes
This practice task asked to work with shapes. It didn't specify how many to work with, so I kept up the theme I'd been running with for everything - 3 examples for each.
• Interlocking Letterforms (words chosen: Denial, Obfuscate, Dissent. You can see a little bit of my hangul studies sneaking in here)
• "Carving Away/Cut out" Letterforms (words chosen: Confidence, Esteem, Sanity)
• Circles (words chosen: Neurotic, Cover, Bulwark)
• Archs (words chosen: Steadfast, Persevere, Unyielding)
• Arcs (words chosen: Survive, Create, Thrive)
And that was the end of that unit! Onto the next.
“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”
my dude
my guy
my pal
stop talking forever
Oh I have never reblogged faster in my life
Watching my bi friends’ identities get erased when they‘re in m/f relationships makes me think it’s even MORE important to write bi characters in m/f relationships and then be REALLY BLATANT about the fact that one or both of them is bi.
BONUS: TYPOGRAPHY SKETCHBOOK Practice Task 2: Flourishes and Swirls
Okay so context before I drop the bonus fun practice peace:
I've followed Seb Lester for donkeys years and he was at the time I first found his work, primarily known for beautiful calligraphy of rude words and/or phrases. (He's brilliant - and on tumblr too!). So of course when the brief is "words with swirls and flourishes" one of the things that comes to mind is "make swear words look pretty"
This was also pretty soon after the D-Day The Final concerts. And of course the 'Shiiiiiiiballlll' memes were doing the rounds again. I had to.
It was a little bit of fun and I mean, practice is practice, right? (My apologies for all the romanised Korean! Far far future goals is to be able to play with lettering for Japanese and Korean too, but that... is probably a way off)
but without further ado - Shibal, lettered. With flourishes and swirls. (And super stylised lotus flowers. If you know, you know.)
TYPOGRAPHY SKETCHBOOK Practice Task 2: Flourishes and Swirls
The second practice task called for a word to be done with flourishes and swashes, in an italicised high contrast script.
I'm not so sure I got there with the high contrast, but I did at least give a couple of ligatures a go ('th') and using up some empty space (the swirl on the 'A').
Ironically the word came up during a video game shortly before getting to these tasks, and it seemed like a good candidate to practice a range of ligatures. While also being particularly meaningful too.
Anathema 1. something or someone that one vehemently dislikes. 2. a formal curse by a pope or a council of the Church, excommunicating a person or denouncing a doctrine.
TYPOGRAPHY SKETCHBOOK - PRACTICE TASK 1
The task called for choosing a 5-6 letter word and doing it in three different styles:
1.) San-Serif with a 3D Effect
2.) A Bracketed Serif with high contrast
3.) An upright, monoline Script
Instead of just doing a single word, I chose a couple to practice different letterforms in each style (and try out different styles within the requirements).
Throwback Thursday
Started working through a typography course a couple of months ago. It's been fun - I'm taking my time with it, and had to double back to take notes from the videos for later reference. But I've been finding I know a lot more about lettering than I realised I did!
Been kinda stuck on the next unit, and some related lettering projects I want to try and play with (procrastination + research papers + trying not to contaminate things while sick).
