BRIEF DESCRIPTION

My font was origanally going to be a basic helvetica trace over, but as i lost this progress due to my brother being an eco freak and turning off the computer whenever i sit up to scratch my bottom, i had lost this progress thus i started anew. In my second design i decide to use what utenisils would be quickest to get the job done and so i produced most of the basic shapes and forms of the letters on photoshop, which intriguingly gave it a more clean structured appearance. Now in most cases i would be glad to bestow this appearance upon my work but the theme being rubbish it needed to have a more gritty and undefined look to its edges and curves. Through this realisation i decide to move onto flash giving a rough edge texture to the letters via the unique lining techniques that flash can imply. I then drew over the template design with a opaque green colouring to create a slimy almost unnapealing look to the text. All of these factors aside the text was still missing something, it seemed somewhat to linear to what i had first imagined. To break this linear tracking along the font i removed one of the key vouls in the text and replaced it with a picture of a cigerette, which i had cropped and filterd on photoshop. Finally to top it all off I dotted the 'i' (or cigerette) with a screwed up ball of paper which the same effects had been applied to.

DONE.

my font, 1 night completion... brilliant
