Handmade Lettering 36

I just managed to finish (hopefully) some banners at work so this posting is honoring that little advancement in my week. The above headline doesn't actually have anything to do the banners I finished but hey, banners are banners, you know. There's some similarity in letterforms to an early blog post, though this one has more depth in the lines. The paper was too narrow to contain all the letters in the same style so I switched to smaller letters. And in the end circle to even smaller letters. But this works quite ok still. Made with felt-tip, ball-point and silver gel pens. Original size about 10 x 7 cm.

This week's entry is from my sketchbook instead of office notes. It's a headline image from a note page dealing with my upcoming exhibition (or my part in a group exibition to be more accurate). The name of the exhibition will be Planet FunFun but since I wanted to keep it a secret at the time I wrote this unbreakable codename instead. The exhibition will have typographic & lettering stuff also, so I will probably post more about it later.

There's a strange glitch in the upper middle part of the picture, maybe some scanner thing or somesuch. Anyway, I'll keep it to myself. This was made with ball-point pens (red text) and paint + gel pens (center text). Original size about 13,5 x 10 cm.

This is a not an actual meeting headline but some typographic testing made during some meeting. I suppose there's not much difference though, except I don't have to worry about any work secrets. The stripe thinking could probably have been taken further, it might be good to keep in mind to do that. The blue tones of this one are similar to the previous post but I'll try to pick some different ones for the next week. Made with the usual tools, original size is about 7 x 5 cm.

I missed two postings again (two weeks ago because I was going to London for a little vacation & a week ago just by the power of forgetfulness), but since it's summer and the weather was nice too I doubt anyone noticed. Now that it's cold and raining again I managed to return to the blog. Let's see how it goes next week.

This entry is a new one in the Excel series (previous ones: 1, 2, and 3), might even be the last one that I have scanned. Our excels at work often have lists of upcoming projects etc. so that counts as Krazy Stuff, I guess. Maybe I'm being ironic but maybe not! Anyway, this was made with the usual stuff + blue paint pen. Original size about 11 x 8 cm.
