Week 6

Delanie and I began our search for web fonts today and settled on Modak for the headings and Istok Web for the body copy. We also picked a warm color palette with earthy tones. However, after receiving feedback we decided to change our header font to one called "Spicy Rice" because it was easier to read. Due to our limit of 3 graphics for the page, we utilized borders and color variation to make the content more interesting.

Week 5

Once my font was properly kerned, I exported the OTF file so it could be used on other computers and shared the link. I also printed a physical copy of the type specimen on 11x17.
Afterwards I began the initial planning for the redesign of the Sugarbowl's website. Delanie and I worked on wireframes, and came up with a few possible color palettes.

Week 4

After completing the lowercase set of characters for my font, I started putting them into the Fontself Maker extension, and mapping them out. Some turned out well, and others did not. It became clear to me which letters needed to be revised after seeing them at such a small scale.

Week 3

This week I decided on a typeface to further develop, and planned out the rest of the characters in it. The one I picked was inspired by architectural drawings and has a sketchy, angular appearance to it. In order to vectorize my font and put it into the template, I first had to adjust the levels in Photoshop to make it darker. Then I used Illustrator to trace the image and smooth out the curves.
