Step 4: Deliver
As I complete this project I felt at first like this was going to be easy but I was really wrong. I thought making my own type face out of random items would be so simple but it turned out to be sort of difficult trying to come up with a type face made out of something such as paint splatter or a crack on concrete floor. The process of making a new type face is very long and it showed me in a way what graphic designers go through when they are brain storming and trying to come up with new ideas or making something new. What felt a little difficult was trying to find something to take a picture of that I may be able to use for my type face because I felt like I couldnāt find anything till I did. Although this was a difficult project it was an interesting experience and process to do and go through.

I thought creating a typeface based on the images Iāve selected weāre going to be simple, but my
Expectations were wrong this whole time. Iāve learned that developing a new typeface can be very com-
Plicated when trying to give the elements to it. My sketches keep giving too much repetitive at first.
I was mainly focused on my imagination the most of making the letters of the word āLeavesā by either
Shaping them into leaves or turning into them. So I took another photo of my wired mouse turn itās wire
Into a typeface with a mouse at the end. 2nd image I used was my Charcoal sticks I had as one of my art
Supplies for my figure drawing courses, I thought Using the shape of the charcoal stick and transform it
Into a typeface. But the lettering couldnāt tell if theyāre actually made out of a charcoal stick piece. I was
Going to transform it into a 3D photo as my final one, but I donāt have enough charcoal sticks to create
The typeface in a 3D form, so as my final, I drew the letters with the same charcoal stick thatās on the
Photo and draw it very heavy pigmented black with a vine tree on the top as where vine charcoal came
From. The 3rd one was a Christmas light bulb I took from my Christmas light decorations, and transform
itās light bulbs with a wire plug connected to it. At the end, I shouldnāt rely too much on my expectations
while working on my own typeface sketches. But it is nice to try and experience to work on a typeface
of our own based on the images we selected.
