This week I have continued my line design further and have formed more letters for my font. At this point I can see that my work has been influenced by De Stijl and it seems that others can identify it as De Stijl. Chris noticed that particularly in my lower case that it reminds him of De Stijl furniture which, now he mentions it, I can also visualise. After he made this comment I figured that I best take a look at more types of furniture to hopefully inspire different approaches towards different letters. A much as it is important to maintain a level of consistency in this font, their is still no reason why slight variation can’t be tried. After researching these, I can safely say that I will still choose Ikea furniture over De Stijl furnishings however I can appreciate their progressive nature.
I am curious for next week however to see how my font stacks up against other designs. Going around the room at this point it seems that most people have opted for very different styles and inspirations so this should be very interesting.
