Finally got my business cards printed! Good thing I only made 20 because I decided I want to make the type at the bottom one weight heavier and a few points bigger. Thought it was amusing when the kinko’s worker thanked me so much for actually knowing to add bleeds and safe space around the edges for cutting. They’re printed on a “natural” color paper to mimic the cream color on this website. Featured are two of my favorite fonts: Museo (the slab serif) and Aaux Pro (has cute numerals too!)

The question is, when was the last time you got handed a business card? Maybe I’m just too young.

A few months ago I got bored (really bored) and thought it would be fun to empty out my purse and scan in all the items. Then I got an even better idea, not just scan them, but vector them! So here’s my next proposal: how cool would it be to have a book of 20+ purses and the junk inside them? Pictured, vectored, whatever. Maybe the picture of the purse on the left page and all its contents on the right page. Then they could be organized by chapter as small/medium/large etc.. think about it.

So I’m thinking about naming my font “Ohey.” Right now, Ohey only has an ultralight weight, but soon it will have regular. Maybe if I’m feeling real crazy I’ll even make an italics, but that’s probably not going to happen for a while. Anyway for type class we had to create a poster showcasing our font, so I made a fake one for Ashlee. Keep in mind I made this in the 10 minute break between classes so… I wouldn’t be surprised if something was spelled wrong but it is what it is. Also, thx to bittbox for providing the flourish vectors.

Ohey girl.

Combining 4 and 5 in this one, hopefully no one goes crazy or anything. Our replies are getting increasingly more bold than earlier. He’s still p0wning me in execution skills, but I’m having more fun than most of my classmates.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with making this font, it’s based on my handwriting. I’m spending far too many hours in front of the computer messing with it.

And with that short introduction, here is my first original font (I know I’m sort of cheating because it’s based on handwriting and therefore does not have to be perfect..)
