Homage development

I have been looking more into circuit drawing and taking my line sketches out of the context of the circuit board to make it more abstract.

I have also been playing with the DNA profiling shapes. I have used the word 'security' as that is a feeling I thought of when thinking about what my parents mean to me. I have played with a vector and handdrawn version and I like the warm delicate quality it gives to the letters.

Typeface development

I have developed a typeface based on a beautiful railing which i have noticed at my local park. I like the unusual counter this letter R has.

It is also inspired by the stone carvings on a number of the old houses leading down to the park. I love the angular letter shapes, all slightly uneven.

So I started with recreating the R and then the full upper case character set:

Homage

Homage experimentation

Widening the subject area to Parents for this brief, I have started looking at electrical circuit diagrams to explain the feeling of my family unit - organised, strong, the power/love/guidance coming from my parents and i thought it would be nice to overlay this illustration over old photos.

I have also been looking at the decoding of genes and chromosomes and I thought this could be adapted as a beautiful type treatment in an animation with the letters fading down in blocks.
