Excerpt: FOUNDFONT™ tutorial Andy Hayes here from Hucklebuck Design Studio. The subject for this tutorial will revolve around a pet project of mine called FOUNDFONT™. Foundfont™ is dedicated to typographic archaeology as well as the use of found typography within design. It’s about extracting unique type for specific design needs or creating complete type sets based on found examples. FOUNDFONT™ offers typefaces but also hopes to inspire designers to do their own digging. In this tutorial we’ll talk about what makes a good FOUNDFONT™ source and the steps to creating your own usable vector characters from found samples. Type is where you find it Useful…

Excerpt: Before We Get Started Hello dear readers! Simon and Jon from Studio Ace of Spade here. Today, we have the chance to write a tutorial about one of the Studio’s recent projects, the poster we did for Lost and Taken. What’s great about this particular project is that it gives us the occasion to do a tutorial we’ve wanted to write for a long time: texture, texture and more texture. We already had a writeup including some tips and tricks about textures published recently, but it was web oriented. Web is a world were subtlety is a key word, so we had to…

Excerpt: This is NOT simply another type foundry Hello dear readers. Today, I want to talk about the Lost Type Co-op. If you want to be cynical about it, you could say it’s just another type foundry. Well, you’d be wrong. The cool thing about the LTC is its model: The Lost Type Co-Op is a Pay-What-You-Want Type foundry, the first of it’s kind. — From the LTC about page Other than meaning that you can get fonts for $0, it also means that its sales model is based on trusting the customer to understand the value of the product. It’s more or less the honor…

Excerpt: Creating a Monogram Monograms are an interesting way to go about making an identity. By nature they can be straight forward or extremely ornamental and illustrative. In this tutorial I’m going to walk you through the steps I (Chris Comella, designer at Go Media, hi!) took to making Go Media’s own Heather Mariano (formerly Heather Tropp) a monogram for her business card. What follows is a series of animated GIFs. Each show the steps I took toward executing my concept. They all loop, so if you miss something the first time, don’t sweat it. It’ll be back in a few seconds. Also,…

Excerpt: Ever been asked to come up with a type driven design but still wanted to use imagery? Creating text through collage can be an awesome solution. Here’s what you’re going to need to create a successful piece: 1. An open mind. I always find that being noncommittal toward the placement of objects allows you to easily rearrange the elements into a better composition. 2. A solid sense of composition. When you’re looking at the elements you’re going to use, it helps to have a rough idea of where that element will go and how it relates to the elements around it. 3. Lots…

Excerpt: Part Seven of Seven Easy Principles to Becoming a Master Designer. Ok Folks, This is it; part seven of seven. I’ve hopefully convinced you to limit your use of colors and fonts, taught you to provide sufficient contrast, suggested that you properly space your elements and let you in on the secrets of adding depth and motion to your design. Now, the last principle in this rapid-fire guide to becoming a master designer is composition. In truth, the order I’ve given you these seven principles is probably ass-backwards. The composition is the first and most important part of your design. So,…
