Alphabet Soup - Final Typeface

To create my final typeface, i used the same technique as before. Using the images i had taken of the scanned hair, i tried to find certain elements in the hair which could relate to each letter. For example, i chose a looped string of hair for the letter 'O'.

I created my type by printing off the images of the scanned hair and using a light box, hand drawing each individual letter. This took a LONG time. When i finished this, i scanned them all in, and using grids and guides, created an A1 template of my typeface, ready to be printed and traced off at a later date.

My only concern would be if i can recreate the same intricate lines on a smaller scale. My letters are around 8x8cm. I have done a few test of this, printing them smaller and re-tracing them up and they seem to transfer to this size good. I would maybe just have to make certain areas less intricate which is a bit of annoying , but the final result should look really nice

I also created a name badge for Josh as part of the brief. I wanted to go with the old school american sticker name badge style with the 'My Name Is' because i thought it would be a pretty cool idea and would be a nice background for my type to sit on. I knocked up a quick template for the badge then added my type over the top of it...
