Bitmap Alphabet
01
The Prompt
Assigned in Typography, to create a unique, complimentary, and identifiable design for each letter in the alphabet using an 8x8 box of 1x1 squares in InDesign.
02
The Design
The main idea of this font is to make the letters look as round as possible. The two main motifs are the star shape and the diagonal block of 6. The star is used decoratively as well as practily when two lines intersect. The diagonal block is used decoratively to fill space as well as practically in a large clump such as in the W.
03
The Process
Each letter was hand drawn on a sheet of graph paper, peer reviewed, and revised, Once the letters were refined, they were drawn in InDesign, revised again, and organized into a full alphabet.
04
The Product
A full alphabet titled "Curvy Squares" that was later compiled into a complete book full of each student's alphabets.
