Calligraphic, Grid, Illustrator, Typography (0)
THE EXPERIMENT: A pixelated parody of an ancient script font called German Blackletter was created by tracing an example alphabet, using black squares on a grid. For #2, this was given rounded corners, then multiplied with green stroke colors to create the "glow". #3: Playing around with the "dashed line" feature of the Stroke options, using a 1-pixel dash at various spacings and stroke weights. VR LINK OF THE DAY: Adi Da's "Da Plastique" -- The controversial guru is also a phenomenal digital artist -- Who knew?!
