Florist are always associated with flowers. Therefore, my first few drafts are all fonts surrounded by flowers. I was also interested in Artist Sabeena Karnik‘s typography where alphabets are being created by flowers surrounding it.

Project 1: Que Sera Sera (Final for Writer)
In my final for Writer, I cropped out a huge part of the typewriter to only show a bit of the typewriter. This is to avoid taking away the attention from the font. The font and the texts are done in a way that it looks like they were being typed out by a typewriter, with the sharp and straight… Read more →
Project 1: Que Sera Sera (Process + Research for Writer)
For writer, I thought of using crumpled papers to show the rejected ideas that writers have crumpled up and discarded. Thus, explaining my first draft. After the first draft, I thought it looked quite boring if all of the alphabets were made up of crumpled paper. Therefore, I tried to make the different alphabets be made… Read more →
Project 1: Que Sera Sera (Final for Architect)
This is my Final work for the Architect font. Overall, am happy with how standardised and uniform the font looks , now that I’ve learnt the importance of kerning.

Project 1: Alter Egos (Process)
Ideation I was watching one of Bob’s Burgers episode when the idea struck me. Tina fantasized that her classmate liked her when in reality, the classmate was just being curious. Tina got into one of her weird daydreams and fantasized about her classmate after that. I thought that scene would be perfect to incorporate both LSP into this. So, instead… Read more →
