\"2015-01-08-TypePoster-2008\"\"2015-01-08<\/a>In one of the print design classes I developed a typeface, Split Uncial, scanning in letters made with the scroll end of a scroll-and-brush marker. Making the vector\u00a0letters were easy, the kerning, not so much. Of course, it was just an exercise in how to design a typeface, not a finished typeface.\u00a0Here are a couple of posters I made with my typeface.<\/p>\n

Later, I collaborated with Gail’s\u00a0team on an installation: My Alaska, Too<\/a>. I programmed the six-screen interface which pulled in current\u00a0images of Alaska from the Internet, looping and updating the feed at set intervals.<\/p>\n

These italic variations will be part of a handout to help\u00a0students\u00a0critique\u00a0their practice lettering. Variations are as follows: standard italic, 5\u00b0 slant; italic made up of straight lines to demonstrate both rhythmic underpinnings and the way that the oval is influenced by the stick; low-branching joins (from baseline; high from waistline); high-branching joins (from baseline; low from waistline); a demonstration of inconsistency in shape and branching, but not in width or spacing; condensed italic, half the width of the standard line; expanded italic, written at half the height of the standard line but keeping the width the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
