d3 LA01 - My Name

You are asked to provide a specific personality as described in the designated areas on the A4 template supplied. Visualise the characteristics this personality using type only. Then, using your whole name, part of your name, or your nickname, choose an appropriate lettering style and carefully and creatively render your name in the given area.

For each type you have to create a new nameplate, eg. hiccups.
 
Consider the style, weight, size, letterspacing and case of the letter characters. Give special attention to the actual size and placement of your name in the given area. Use your Visual Diary and the thumbnail process to explore your ideas - NO COLOUR just black or shades of grey. Medium – use pencil or ink (no computers - yet!).


Here is my attempt at matching fonts to a given topic/title.

There are thousands of fonts created and when searching for particular ones to fit a specific typographic style it was extremely difficult to narrow them down and choose one that would be fitting.

I found this exercise more challenging due to the fact that computers were not allowed.
