fun with fonts
 

someone came up with this idea on another board that i visit:
making "type" faces.

it's so much FUN! i thought i'd bring it here & see if anyone else wants to play :)

here's all i've made so far in between all the holiday confusion.

the second one...

3rd attempt...

round 4...

use any font or any set of dingbats

Not a new idea, but nice nonetheless

Have an astronaut with a monocle, or something

bernedette, they are really cool, are u a graphic designer?

That second one is outstanding, bernadette! The others are good too, but that second one is really excellent.

yay DonnChadh. love it!!!

3rdEye, no, i'm not a graphic designer by profession, but i do enjoy graphic design as a useful hobby.

and thx Tophat : )

i have a lot of RL stuff i hafta do today & tomorrow, but hope to make a few more soon. i also hope someone(s) else here makes some, too :)

ok. i did 3 more. i just put them all together in one image (sorry about the repeats).
the bottom 3 are the new ones.

those are awesome! very creative :)

those are really awesome
they'd make good logos as well :)

real nice - I like how sharp and crisp they are.
I also like how the rigid font format forces its own very graphic look and style on the images.

Good Stuff! I will have to give it a try.

I remember having to do this in design school... I came up with a scary clown. Ended up making it into the cover for a book on typefaces.

Good work, all... this sort of exercise really helped me in the past to look at everyday things in a new way.

Very cool. :)

I'll have to give that a try sometime.

Nice! Very original idea.

I like. Very clever idea.

a quickie new one : )

What a great idea, very creative!

Those are great, bernadette! I'm going to have to make some when I get home. I also *love* the second one, she's hot! ;)

Those are so cool, I would have never thought to make pictures from fonts.
