Things have been a little quiet on my blog front… apologies. I’ve been settling back into normal work hours, fighting a cold and trying to make a start on my first Uni assignment which is due in a couple of weeks. This semester I’m doing Digital Publishing and Typography and part of my first assignment is to create faces out of fonts. We are not allowed to distort the characters but we can rotate, scale and reflect. Here’s two that I have come up with. My snobby man and my rich madam. The snobby man was my first attempt and I sat down to attempt a ‘pretty girl’ and he sort of evolved. My rich madam was my second attempt at a ‘pretty girl’. She may not be pretty but she doesn’t care because she’s incredibly rich! I’m not getting as much help from my fellow students this semester so I might appeal to you for a little feedback from time to time. I hope that’s OK. Feel free to comment on these two.
Cheers,

I think they’re awesome. You are definitely an artist. It takes a trained eye to put something like that together. Well done.
I love your compositions Libby! I think you hit the assignment dead on. The portraits are very expressive and capture the essence of a pen and ink drawing. I was fooled at first before I read your text. Nice work!
Awesome. I love it! Who would’ve thought some fonts, carefully thrown together, would produce that?
