As
part of our investigation into typography we were asked to create 5 hybrid
fonts. We were told to do this by dissecting existing fonts and joining them
together how we saw fit. We were told to create as many combinations as
possible and then chose five options from the collection. First of all we had
to produce AaBbCc and once we had chosen the five different fonts we were to
produce XxYyZz. To create the hybrid letters we had to choose 4 fonts: a roman
font, a script font, a gothic font and a block font. The fonts I chose were;
Century, Monotype Corsiva, Helvetica and Poplar Std.
Once I
cut up, rearranged, photographed and chose the 5 fonts I wanted to create I
traced them out onto tracing paper using a pencil and then filled the letters
in with black permanent marker.
Finally
I drew the letters on Adobe Illustratorr so they could be resized and arranged
alongside each other. It also gives me a digital version of the letters I
created. As well as creating these new fonts, we also had to name them.
