I'm in the process of designing a typeface based on a little challenge I set myself a while back. The idea was to take a rectangle and see how little could be taken away from it to make it recognisable as a letter. This was inspired by the chunky type used in Susology magazine which is a FREE magazine (www.suso.co.uk) and surprisingly high on worthwhile content for a freeby.
The typeface (working title Block) is included in my final major project, might see use as my band logo, will be sent to at least one other band to see if they're interested and I'm planning to incorporate it into a design for my entry to the Glastonbury t-shirt design competition being run by Q - first prize is £1000 and two tickets to the festival. I should probably be a good designer and be more selective with its use. Oh well.
J-Malk.
