Typography 2 final was to design an original font. Instructor kept mine as an example:
Giant: it's really not that hard, but, in this case, was time-consuming. Done in Illustrator, I used a basic bold font (arial bold, if I remember correctly), took outlines, made strokes of them, then manipulated the shapes. Finally, I created a pattern brush of denim, filled them in and added some 'wrinkle lines'. Now I just need 'Fontagrapher' to make the individual letters usable as a font!
