2 weeks in

"delta" just the name sounds amazing. my new friend mitch gave me the idea to look at this guy we were having a bit of a chit-chat about our favourite pieces of work and things. i think the quote 'i love geometry' suits this guy really well. i love the feeling that when your working out a maths problem and you know theres a definite single answer at the end, thats the feeling i get from this image. it makes me want to work, it makes me want to solve the problem thats been layed out for me. its like trying to complete a word search, you see the letters and you try and connect them.
our project for this week was to design another typeface based on two shapes that were randomly given. mine were a hexagon and a rectangle i found it really exciting! given that we were only given 2 hours to complete our typeface my blood was pumping and i was starving having worked over dinner! but i finally came up with a really formal and beautifully crafted final piece. simply setting myself some rules to work with such as keeping the size the same really helped. i think its too hard to work with different sizes and variations of the same shape, just use 1! its so much easier. Finally i came up with the typeface and i am really satisfied :)
i was thinking about maybe publishing some of the typefaces i have designed, i was looking at "dafont.com" and you can download free software to produce fonts. it looks pretty compliacted but i'll publish my result if i manage to make anything.
its the end of the second week doing my degree and i'm still uber excited. i've met new people and i'm happy. :)
