Random Photos

These are just some random photos I’ve taken at home and on Holidays. These were just a few I liked

Photoshop

These photos were from a photo shoot I did at a family friend’s new house. They hadn’t moved in yet and the garden was all over grown and I thought it would be a good place to take photos. I just snapped a few photos and then took a few and played around in Photoshop. These are the results...

Type 3

This is the sketch of the type design I decided to use. I liked this one as it looked cool and would make a good display type; also there isn’t one the same that I know of. I think the type is different and fun and interesting. This was defiantly the best of the three which I designed and was also easier to create well on the computer.

The finished Type.

Type 2

This is a rough sketch of another type I did. I don’t like it very much as it looks rather messy. It is similar to the type that a chose to create on the computer; however I don’t like it as much. The lines are bad and there is a similar square type already available so I decided not to use this one.

Type

This was the first type face that I did. I used to write like this all the time but it seemed difficult to be able to create this type on the computer. It is a bit too much and there are also similar script types which already exist so I decided not to use this sketch.
