development

    Before I set out to make my own typeface, I wanted to make sure that you say typeface wouldn't work for it. I therefore collated a fair few typefaces that I thought might be applicable to the target audience, and some that really weren't. But I wanted to test out how it was with the colours. As the brief states that you have to use the key for live colours, which is white black in this horrible green. It kind of works together, but it's not my favourite I guess. 

I started off looking at coding typefaces which might work and how it look in all caps and mixed. I do quite like this first one. On the 2nd to last one. But all the other ones are kinda horrible and I don't feel like they'd work in appealing to the audience. I feel like the second to last one also doesn't quite hit the mark in that regards. 

I tested out a few of the typefaces that I kinda liked and the ones that I did like, but kind of came to towns with the script. One is horrible and it's not legible. The serif font Looks too posh and it would probably not appeal to the target audience. The coding ones kinda cool. But I feel like it's kinda blonde and a bit too on the nose for the target audience. 

I tried mixing the colours stop and having green background, but it's the worst thing I've ever seen. The green colour doesn't suit. Being Anon bigger scale, so I think having a black or white background is the way to go, but actually definitely black background, close white and that green doesn't go along that well. As you can see on the logo its kinda, legible when it's smaller. 

I then started making my type on this isometric grid. And I really like it. I've been having fun making the letters I tested out A fair few S-es as They're the ones

 The all the most difficult to me. 

I played around with fully following the grid and also broken it every now and then and I think breaking it every now and then is the way to go about it because it showcases this less rigid style of it as it's all angles. 

I was having some issues with the w, I've been drawing it all in procreate as I found it the easiest in terms of just getting it all out there. It seems less final than illustrator. 

I've mainly just been trying to figure out the balance of the width of the letters working together in harmony without it being too rigid. And have some Letters have more say In terms of width or size. 

I was having a good time drawing the typeface I wanted to test it out. How would look if it was an actual typeface would be right across? And I like some of the letters the t and r are are quite interesting to me. But I decided to go with the diagonal layout as I found it more dynamic. 

As you can see here, the green on the white background is. It kind of hurts your eyes a bit. And that's why it's not going to be the final one. 

I applied the typeface and cleaned it up and Illustrator asked to remove some of the unevenness and just tidying up a bit. And I put the logo on there. Buffalo that it was quite empty, so I added this just quick brush strokes that I did in procreate.  

And I really quite like it. The slightly off piste and I tried to see how far I could push it before it came weird and I think less is more in a way. I tested out the opacity and playing around with it, but I think it needs to be fully white, but you needs something else. 

I still wasn't fully settled on this and I felt like a home done enough development so tested out this stencil typeface, but it looks like a horror film poster. It might be because I've done the thing with the big words every now and then, but. It just gives me this. Horror film energyI tried something so that mixing it with others typefaces, but it's not working. . 

I tried to play with the background a bit and I just did a little like different brush strokes and created this weird pattern which seems algae like. It's not what I want for this, so it's not going to happen, but I do think it's cool effect. But just not for this.
