Studio Brief 2 - Alphabet Soup - Typeface

Brief
Design a typeface for a full alphabet and glyphs (a to z, !, ?, @, £, :, .) that represents the personality/character of your partner. You will discover their personality/character through a series of set questions.
Using your newfound appreciation of the anatomy of typographic forms and the wealth of research that you have already gathered, focus on the manipulation of existing letterforms in order to solve this problem.
Background / Considerations
Experiment with a range of possible line qualities, marks, colour and paper types. How will colour help the communication? What papers can you work with? Do you need to draw, photocopy, photograph, collage, trace or combine processes?
Your final resolutions should read as convincing, well crafted and clearly presented typographic forms.

I started this project by looking through Caitlin's blog in order to find out more information about her so that my typeface can successfully represent her. This is a combination of images from her blog as well as other work that I had already come across that I feel, after looking through her blog and the type of design she is interested in, we would both appreciate.







































These are images of Caitlin scuba diving, a hobby she hadn't mentioned but I find fascinating. I think this would inspire and influence a very unique typeface. I am going to look into different aspects of diving and explore how they can be used to create typography.
