DAILY GRAPHIC DESIGN CHALLENGE - DAY 147 TO 176 - FOLDS & INK

October 14, 2017

Putting the hands to work

This month I went back to exploring designs that were done by hand or had some element of hand craft to it. I predominantly worked with typesetting sayings or words, printing them out, applying a cut or fold, and then photographing them. The other approach I explored this month was using a variety of pens and markers to do some hand lettering that revolved around comic book titles and tag lines. The computer was still used with these, but it was a nice change of pace using "old school" techniques in the ever evolving digital world.

RULES
DAYS 147 TO 176

Below are the rules/themes I tried to stick to for this months challenge.

  1. Some element had to be hand created
  2. Computer use should be minimal
  3. Spend roughly an hour to an hour and a half per design

So that's another thirty down. Comment, share, critique. Again, if you have a challenge that you created yourself, I'd love to hear about it and follow your progress as well.
See you in 30.
