Artist's Comments

I'm working on my Typography project which involves constructing letterforms and stippling. (Stippling, by the way, sucks.) Anyway, I took a photo of my work, made a negative, super-exposed it, blah blah, to make it look sorta like an X-Ray.

So, Trajan, yeah? My letter was L, and my font was Trajan. Yes, as in the Roman Emperor who made the column and had that nifty inscription. The guy who made the letters we're using on movie posters centuries later. (Seriously, go look at the posters. ALL TRAJAN. Well, most of them.)

Anyway, this is just the image portion of my cover sheet. I'm very happy with it!

That's a lot of stippling, but very nicely done!

And ~vxjasonxv wonders why I don't look forward to typography...

I don't believe we have anything like this as far as projects go... I suppose it would be for learning and I shouldn't knock it.

Deviantart is not a place to store your collection of other people's artwork. Here it's called theft and I proudly report it.

Thanks! It's a pain in the butt, but I'm glad that part's done!

My teacher has a very hands-on approach to typography, but it's my favorite class so far!

My typography teacher is a bit of an ass so far.
"Absolutely no facebook, myspace, youtube....etc web surfing allowed during classtime. All websurfing must be DIRECTLY related to the assignment research, reading or topics covered in the course. Anyone violating this will be excused from class and marked as absent from that point forward for the rest of the course session. You do not pay tuition to waste time."

Directly from his syllabus. I much prefer the "we're all adults here" approach, not the "you pay too much money so let me rule with an iron fist"

Gah! Nightmares of college and stippling! Can't sleep, stipple dots will get me...

This looks very cool, actually. The additional effects on the negative have exactly the effect you were after, at first i was trying to figure out what you did thar. Then I read. :)

Hah! That's exactly how I feel. I dreamed the other day I was sold into Stipple Slavery.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks! Hopefully it'll go over well in class.

Whoa! Seems like it would be quite frustrating, but the end result is pretty cool.
