Typography in Graphic Design - Task 3

For the third task we had to select the most appropriate design out of the three roughs and create a complete alphabet on graph paper. Here is my first attempt at my chosen design out of the three drawn previously, drawn on graph paper.



I used pencil and made sure each box for the letters was the same size, but when creating the final version in Illustrator I will need to make sure each letter is the same width and height for it to look like a proper font and for it to work well.

On Illustrator I used the guides and rulers to scale my letters more accurately and to make sure each letter related and fit well with each other. 



I used the pen tool to redraw my letters and also the ellipse tool,for the circular components of my typeface. 
Once I had finalised my design on Illustrator I experimented with different colour schemes inspired by El Lissitzy's 'Proun' piece, which my letters were transcribed from.
