Hawks Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 V1: also on Devart here. C/c, whatever you think needs some help on? (that makes no sense... whatever could be better, which is probably all of it... :roll: ) Also, does anyone have a specific typography tut they find particularly useful?

pryomancer Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Not all typography has to have a million words. Correct. Typography is all about the structure and style of letters, a typosig doesn't mean a canvas plastered with lots of random phrases. Typography I think, is probably the most creative style, it forces you to do something completely unexpected and original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 What the hell is up with this "typography" fad recently? All half of those signatures are (yours included) is a bunch of random words with a billion fonts that don't work together and ignore basic typography rules. It's sad because most of the people doing these "typography" signatures have no idea about Kerning, leading, line spacing, ect. For one, don't use two simular style fonts together, like don't use a serif and a sans serif (IIRC). Serif and a, say, script header would be fine however. Also most of the fonts you picked out there are horrible, horrible fonts that are probably gotten from some amateur site. If you want to do a typography signature you're looking at something much different than what you have here. Focus around one word. For example, if you had the word "Wind" you could put it in a manipulation and make it seem like a tornado, or a hurricane, or any number of ideas. Typography is not the art of random type over a gradient. Thru posted good examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 So I was trying to do a bit about me-ish... Yeah that doesn't make sense anyway.

pryomancer Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 These are still typography, just not really the best examples, and not as creative as it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Typography is also making your own font, havn't seen anyone do that yet. :| It's extremely difficult and takes hours, you need to know vector extremely well. I could show people how to make TTFs if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
