Handcrafted Type: December 2010

Initial as well as final sketches and guidelines (blue and red outlines) to improving the lettering design.

Watching Columbo while working...

As you can see, this nice line drawing was edited multiple times before I could achieve something like this. Please, don't think it took me 30 minutes to complete this design. It takes a lot of time, effort and patience to end up with typography like this. I'd estimate about 5-7 hours.

Importing to Illustrator CS3. Using pen tool trace the outlines and convert to vector. Then can do whatever I want with it.

And here we have it. After hours of work and colour editing, its finally finished. I'm not sure why, but I tend to incorporate a lot of my design in a circle, maybe it's because I think circle is the perfect mathematical figure?

Rough sketches first.

Tracing over the old sketch to improve quality of lines and design.

Pre-final sketch.

And here's the prints. I only finished the Pink Floyd poster recently so haven't printed it. 

And another poster on the right, not yet published on the Behance...
