In summary, this project is about Typography. We have to create our own fonts, and use that for our names. We have to create it in such a way that it reflects a job that we want to have in the future.
I made use of Bahaus movement as part of my references. The simple use of Sans Serif, and the lines, basic shapes (trianges, circles and squares) are art of the trademarks of that movement. Kassily Kandinsky, a Bahaus artist is one that inspired me to make use of simple lines, and play around with them to make out a typeface.
I have little background on using digital softwares, so I had to rely on my drawing skills. Other mediums used are water colour and pen. And some photoshop in terms of scaling.
The following are in order, and my final pieces are right at the end of each order.
