MISSING TYPE - I got the idea of this font as I was on the train looking out the window at the tracks. I noticed that a couple of the tracks were missing and at the same time I had my sketchbook out so I started to draw train tracks which then lead to a font.

For part of my type project, I had to find a famous book, which dint have the best book cover and re-design it for a poster. I looked at many books but typography sketchbook was the one that stood out for me.

I started my design off, by coming up with many pages of thumbnails then narrowed it down to my top 5. Once I chose my top 5 designs, I got my class to pick my best thumbnail then I developed it up. I added a small description of the book into the poster, so that people would know what the poster is for.

I decided to create a foldable font when I saw a strip of paper on the floor that looked like the letter N. I initially created several of the letters by hand, exploring the different folded angles. I quickly decided that I preferred 90 degree folds as these were cleaner in appearance than 45 degrees and the angles were supported by squared horizontal or vertical lines. After I had decided on a method and a style to my fonts I transferred them into Illustrator as vector graphics.

I had to make sure each letter was the same sizes, I had trouble with letters like M which had a wider letter-space, it’s also my favourite character.
