helvetica is lovely. but I try to break the bonds of tradition as often as possible.

i never use it but for this one no other typeface looked good enough

misk · Post by **misk** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 3:51 pm

yeah, horse, it definitely works, and i like what you've done. Nothing wrong with using helvetica, it's an amazing font, i really do dig helvetica, but its hardwired in me to resist tradition, i think

lately i've been trying my hand at hand-lettering. er, well, on a computer, but still, custom lettering. it's interesting, and allows me to get creative with type in a way thats still non-committal compared to making a whole typeface!

yeah i do like trying a bit of hand lettering from time to time. its a bit more "real" if you get me?

i absolutely wanna get hold of some old movable type and a printing rack.
inking up & printing some old woodblock letters and scanning them in for a piece would look so so lovely given the right project.

i know you can replicate them digitally but its not the same.
same with textures. easy to create digitally but ultimately not as satisfying as scanning in a texture you've made using paint, grit, coffee stains, crushed brick etc and using it that way. bit like digital vs analog music i guess.
or am i rambling on a bit.

anyway...
finished up and alternate version for the "...brickwall" piece i posted earlier

alternate version - front / back

original version (again)

loving that one mate - always love your stuff

Yeah wicked shot, nice tangle of wires and loving the soft focus. Getting the settings right on DSLR's can be a fickle job, but you will be rewarded with some quality shit.

Do you shoot in RAW?

i shot in raw today but had trouble getting the files working. im on some ancient version of photoshop at the moment and it kept giving me disk errors when i tried to open. downloaed some trial converter bullshit for the mean time. probably be getting new photoshop soon if i can get it cheap through uni. learnt my lesson last time when i downloaed a copy along with a nasty virus

With some camera's you have to use the supplied software to manipulate the RAW images.

Might have over done the colours a bit.

d-T-r · Post by **d-T-r** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 8:46 pm

looks good to me although i go overboard on colours. maybe if the road was less tinted the trees/leaves would be bought out even more.

nice autumn/fall shot though. got some autumny leafy ones on the way soon.

another one from the other day: apex
