Day 19 #dailypatterns

Today decided on a simple leaf. The start to a chevron pattern perhaps? 

Typography Playing Cards

I thought I would share a project from my studying days.

I wanted to create a card game that was simple and fun to play as well as teaching the players to look at typography more closely and learn the difference between the various characteristics, families and classifications.

The full alphabet represents a typography classification (ie. serif, sans serif, calligraphy, blackletter), then there are font families within each classification. The aim of the game is a simple matching system. You can either match the same letters of each alphabet (ie. Letter A's), match each classification (ie. Serifs) or match the font families within each classification (ie. Gill Sans in Sans Serif).

Each card has text relating to the history of how each alphabet letter was formed and created and I also made my favourite looking ones into posters.

Awesome reflection from my outdoor glass table. Really like it!! 

Day 17 #dailypatterns

Now I know I have missed a couple of days, but instead of catching up I'll just keep going. So today was a day for the ducks. And I looked up through my umbrella to see the beautiful raindrops and was like bam! There is my pattern!!
