Assignment Three: Uppercase Font






So this one was a bit of a tough one for me, but I'll get to that in a minute. I was tasked with creating a custom font with all uppercase letters. I was initially excited for it, but it proved to be a pain when it came to using the font creator program.

I used illustrator and my graphics tablet to draw the initial letters then tried to copy and paste them into the font creator as instructed. It would not paste, just kept saying it was too large or complex, even after I had shrunk the letters down to an ungodly size.

I ended up having to save each individual letter in RGB format, export it as a JPEG, import an image onto the font creator, generate the glyph then re-size. This had to be done for all of the letters, and including the upcoming assignment...... I wanted to throw my computer out the window.

What I have as the finished project is so-so and would have been better if I wouldn't of had all of the software issues :(
