36 Days of Type 2020
Project Overview
My Take on the Project
Tools
36 Days of Type is project that invites designers, illustrators and graphic artists to express their particular interpretation of the the 26 letters and 9 numbers of the Lating alphabet
It was my first time participating in 36 Days of Type. I wanted to illustrate the characters as objects viewed on 4-point perspective grid. The final outcome covers a wide range of colourful & curvilinear objects.
A-Z, 0-9
Challenges
It was rather difficult to keep motivated, consistent and creative day after day considering I had chosen too ambitious a theme for my first ever lettering project.
Some days I was not able to produce the outcome as expected and ended up delaying the posts by a few days. But I made sure to cover-up for the delay and posted multiple letters in one go.
However, this experience did prove to me that it is always best to plan in advance for such content.
Conclusion
This lettering project was a great experience for me to get one step close to my illustration style. Moreover, the entire 36 day long project made me realise the importance of planning in advance and being prepared with a contingency plan (in case a particular execution didn't come out as expected).
