type time

For the front magazine one of the limitations I set for the brief was to leave the typeface but use the skeleton to improve on it, I decided as the illustrations where my main inspiration for the magazine It seemed plausible to give the type a hand rendered structure to make it more jagged and unstable to best display a halloween character.

Once the outline was complete I added texture to each letter using a narrow ended calligraphy brush focusing in on reversing the spikes towards the letter and back out.

Once complete I added some halloween like colours I thought green orange and purple would be the best suited colours for this particular theme.

I found orange to obvious

and I was not sure about purple or green so I chose to experiment a little further with both.

I took away the black outline and thought that this looked pretty cool as a result.

I added deeper tones to give the letters some real character.

In the end I thought that green was a good choice for the colour but I am yet to decide wether or not I will use this particular typeface, I am going to experiment further with other ideas meanwhile.
