Sprightly Type Process

For my typeface, I decided that I wanted to create a fun, roundy, clean, slab serif type. I did some basic sketches on paper, and with the help of one of my favorite tools, the random word generator, I came up with the name "sprightly" for my type. At this point I knew that I wanted to keep the type clean looking by keeping all the serifs pointing the same way, to the right.

In my first version of the typeface, I used the traditional serifed lowercase "g" format, but I felt that it didn't fit well with the rest of the typeface, especially the "y."

I really liked the ear of the g and I didn't like the idea of having the sans-serify g in there, so I changed it to a middle of the road sort of g.

I was fairly happy with this version, and I only made one more small change, adding dot terminals to the ends of the s and t. I then made three different weights of the font.

Aaaand out of this type was born my first attempt at a four page layout.

I think that I have everything in there; any feedback would be very helpful!

Scrumptious Chocolate Packaging

A very delicious dark chocolate package that my roommate picked up from Trader Joe's. As it turns out, she doesn't even like chocolate this dark (lucky for me) and just bought it because it was so pretty and made her want to want it. Pretty successful packaging if you ask me!

I've decided that my St. Patty's day Drop Cap will be knitted :) I've gathered all the different colors of yarn and made myself a pattern to follow.
