OUGD603. Extended Practice. Goodtype the Book Vol.1 Competition Brief. Development

from the visual reserach i had collected i decided to proceed with the physical piece. i decided to stick with the word formalities and it is a word i am familiar with and wanted to draw formally.

i did some preliminary exploration into the format the type piece might take -

i began by measuring and establishing a grid to which i could then pencil in the letter designs.

 

i then went on to hand render the final outcome with fine liner pens of different weights. 

in order to digitally render the piece i first cut it away from the paper background

 

i then played with the contrast to set the levels and tones to a more readable level

there were some smaller bits still left around on the file so i placed a black background in order to locate them and remove them

i then used the colour picker to extablish the white

 

i then placed the  digital image on top of a plain white background.
