MToS: What More Can I Say

Here is the 2nd installment of the My Type of Song project. It’s from What More Can I Say by Jay-Z (2003).

With all projects, it started with a sketch. Lucky for me I already had some clear ideas, so this process went rather quickly.

Instead of the normal process of scanning and pen-tooling in Illustrator, I went straight to the latter and hoped that I could “wing it”.

I made these blue diagonal lines as a grid to ensure that all my curves and angles were consistent. I ended up changing a few letter forms along the way that weren’t originally sketched out.

I’ve been lousy at tracking hours for personal projects lately, but I think that this was one of my faster start to finish projects. Stay tuned, as I already have installments 3 and 4 sketched out!

Paid in Spades & Alphabet

Here’s the third installment to my playing card series.

Diamond Alphabet complete!

On to spades and hearts!

All that glitter ain’t gold

More experimental type. After doing the club-type letters, I decided to make all 4 (diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades). The other two and complete alphabets to follow.

Home Grown Blends

Some type work I did for the homies over at Home Grown Blends.

Club Alphabet

After a coffee w/ my fellow Illtyper, it was concluded that we both need to both get back on the creativity bus. With that being said, I doodled a doodle, got home and took it to vector, and then this morning, decided to give it a full push. So, here’s the latest to pop out of this noggin:

Pineapple Express P2

Pineapple Express

If you love Pineapple Express as much as I do, you’ll get it. Part 1.

Because you never know…

Ill Type (part 2)

Here are some vectorized versions of the current IllType stuff. With an exception to the middle two, all of these will probably be pushed a little more.
