Floral typography



















My initial idea for this brief was to create a font based on my floral patterns, i developed my letters from the Times New Roman font and then put my flowers and swirls onto the letter, i created several versions for each letter with the intention of taking part which looked best on the letter to make a final letter. I intended to use small letters and capital letters, numbers, punctuation and accents to make up the 100. After my crit last week we decided my idea was too narrow for the collection of patterns i did have. I decided go back to my patterns collected over Christmas and add to my my research with cultural patterns as suggested in my crit. Below are some of the letters i started with, i do still really like this idea and at some point would like to follow on with what i had started as i did enjoy it.
