SCAD homework. week 2

this is week 2 of Drawing II.
the assignment was a popular one: use only the primary colors: red, yellow & blue to create the secondary and tertiary colors. even to neutralize primary colors to create a greyscale.
still life drawings are not my favorite

SCAD, homework. week 1

this is for my Drawing II class.
the assignment was the exhaust an entire Bic ink pen on the 18x24 page while depicting what "home" was. this is simple: an iPod, coffee, couch & armchair.
and a pillow.
This was mainly just a litmus test for my professor on week 1 to observe each student on multiple, less mechanic, levels.
I'll post more assignments as they are finished.

new font!

specimen

here is a juicy, soft slab serif for you to ponder.
this is a fun font with a hand drawn touch to it.
click image to enlarge.

here is the sans serif predecessor
(same punctuation applies to sans serif as is pictured in slab serif)

probably putting this into a font development program to release soon!

now accepting suggestions on a name.

Satellite update, for now

playing with the rare "oo" ligature and experimenting with the apostrophe.

here is the "fl" ligature with the "f" descender and the oblique "e" (curved around the right lip)

another oblique sample. this time with the "a" and another ligature: "fl"

here is a screen shot of what I'm working with. generally the red is what I have made that will not be used. there are a few "fi, ffl, fl" options down there.

Satellite Pro, update

news about Satellite Pro: giving the typeface a facelift. made some adjustments to the B, D, G, J, K, Q, S + U as well as most of the lowercase letters.
I read a great article here about how to understand & create a geometric typeface. very informative.
(click for a larger image)
I've also been very fortunate to have the help of Matt McInerney, a SCAD alum who now works for Pentagram. He has been helpful in making adjustments + reformation.

For now, Satellite Gothic Redux

Typography Club, SCAD
