Type Drawing with John

In todays session with John we looked at creating our own typeface and how we would go about it. Instead of jumping straight in and using our own ideas we took influence from a number of different sheets of images which he had prepared before the session. We were then given normal paper, tracing paper and graph paper which we used to create our designs. We also used a range of different materials and experimented with different styles. We had to use only five letters as they are the most visually interesting and most difficult to transform - A S E N G. I used pro markers, sharpies, greyscale markers, fine liners and pencil. Below is the result of this session which i thoroughly enjoyed.
