Type A+

So, I am certainly a lover of type. I can't wait to get into typography and create my own lettering... I do it all the time with my markers or paint. It's a love I've had since I can remember. In high school I would write notes to my friends and they would be decorated, colorful and the lettering would often be quite impressive (if I do say so myself! ha).

I came across this thing on CYMKern.com and it made me laugh because it said that I should certainly look into these things 'If you enjoy contemporary graphic design, typography and photography of the highest order (if your reading this blog I think you might)." It made me laugh because it's SO true!! So I just wanted you to be able to see that page.. and I think I'll share some of my lettering work (despite the age and poor execution you will see in some of them. Judge not because most of these were from high school.)

This is a sample of my awesome creativity! The left picture seen above is a "tattoo" I drew on Seth for fun, and although not so professional, I was quite proud of the type I came up with. ha
The second image is just a stencil I cut out. Although I didn't create the type myself, I modified it to fit my needs.

This is a project I did for fun my senior year. I loved letters, and wanted to do a project with them, but I couldn't choose just one way to do it. SO I just decided to do 26 panels with different styles in each one. The 'Y' is made out of Cherry Cordial Hershey's Kisses, the 'P' is made of fabric paint, the 'K' is colored in my song lyrics, aaaand the others are pretty cool and weird textures, but nothing out of the ordinary.


This last one was also for fun... I like music, and I like type. SO I combined them both on newpaper (which, again, is a great example of type as wel). Again, execution is a bit sloppy in places, and I tried to fit too many bands on the page which made it a bit crowded, but overall, I like it.

Hope you enjoyed a little look into my portfolio/thoughts. :)
