Project 2: Character Set Creation
Objective:
Design a complete character set for a type font. This project aims to deepen your understanding of type design and the intricacies involved in creating a cohesive and functional font family.
Instructions:
Font Concept:
Develop a clear concept or theme for your type font. Consider the purpose and context in which your font will be used (e.g., digital media, print, branding).
Research existing fonts for inspiration, but ensure your design is original and reflects your unique style and vision.
Character Set Requirements:
Uppercase Letters: Design all 26 uppercase letters (A-Z).
Lowercase Letters: Design all 26 lowercase letters (a-z).
Numerals: Include all 10 numerals (0-9).
Punctuation Marks: Create common punctuation marks such as period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, colon, semicolon, quotation marks, apostrophe, parentheses, brackets, hyphen, dash, and ellipsis.
Special Characters: Include at least the following special characters: ampersand (&), at symbol (@), asterisk (*), hash (#), percent (%), dollar sign ($), plus sign (+), equal sign (=), less than (<), greater than (>), slash (/), backslash (), and underscore (_).
Design Process:
Sketching: Begin with hand-drawn sketches of your characters to explore different shapes, styles, and proportions. Focus on maintaining consistency across all characters.
Digital Creation: Move your sketches to a digital platform using type design software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, Glyphs, FontForge). Digitize your sketches, refine your shapes, and ensure smooth, clean lines.
Spacing and Kerning: Pay attention to the spacing and kerning of your characters. Ensure that each character aligns properly and maintains visual harmony when placed next to other characters.
Testing: Test your characters in various words and sentences to check for consistency, readability, and overall aesthetic appeal. Make necessary adjustments based on your observations.
Presentation:
Create a display sheet that showcases your complete character set. Organize your characters neatly, categorizing them into uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation marks, and special characters.
Include examples of your font in use by creating sample text blocks or phrases. This will help demonstrate the functionality and visual appeal of your font in real-world scenarios.
Submission:
Save your final character set and display sheet as high-resolution images (JPEG, PNG) and as a font file (OTF, TTF).
Submit your work through the course Blackboard site by the specified deadline.
Evaluation Criteria:
Originality and creativity in font design.
Consistency and cohesiveness of the character set.
Attention to detail in spacing and kerning.
Overall aesthetic appeal and functionality of the font.
Technical execution and presentation quality.
