Alphabet Soup / Typeface

Final typeface and glyphs
overall i'm happy with the designs, this kind of typeface is something i would never normally look into designing, i dont really have an interest in comic books, however after much research and designing, i really like how i'm experimenting with different typefaces, and exploring new ideas.




                                                 









As individual letters i prefer the outcome of the more blocked letters (A, B, D ,O) i think they stand out more, and they were easier to design, there was more shape and form to work with to achieve the goth-icy bursting bats effects i wanted.

Name badge
I scanned in my final letters, adjusted the scale on Photoshop, and layered them together, played with the paint brush a little and finally added the colour yellow to complete the name badge!


If there wasn't a limited colour pallette of just black ink, i think the colour yellow would fold in with the original typeface perfectly, resembling the batman logo, and giving it a more batman property.
Crit Feedback:
- typeface suits Andy character

- legible font

- fun, vibrant, cool, comic style font

-  perhaps change a couple of letters, experiment a little more

- could be seen in a comic book

- liked how i incorporate the bat man ears into various letters!

- should of perhaps done more initial ideas to see how far the typeface could of been designed
