Making the Font

In my digipack pitch you heard me mention that I am going to make my own font. Well since this the only idea that is certain for me I started on making my font. My idea was to do a floral font and to take pictures of flowers and import them into Photoshop, but I soon released the difficulty in doing this, so I thought simpler. First I looked if there were existing floral fonts on the computer – but there wasn’t. Then I looked for ones that I could download, but there wasn’t any nice ones. Then I looked through Google images of floral fonts to see if there would be something that I would like and it would be easy to make. Then I came across this:

This font really captured my idea, and I really wanted to recreate it, so I spent TIME drawing this:

This is my artist name and the font I want to use for my digipack. I will scan it onto the computer, go over it in Illustrator, add some colour and use it on my ancillary pack.

Here's a screen shot of me making the font in Illustrator:

But I still haven't finished making the font. I now need to obviously finish going over it in the pen tool in Illustrator, but I also need to add colouring and do a outline.
