Self made typeface

With the help of Natalie Faunch and Sofi Chappers and an iphone flashlight we played around with shadows and reflections, projecting some amazing designs on paper and later photographing them, these are samples of them. I decided to use one of these background for my typeface because I found them geometrically really interesting and would give my typeface life.

So, I started playing around with the backgrounds and my quote, which clearly says :" In reality the universe has no geometry ", and I had to decide which one to go with, some looked better on A4 print and when printed in bigger size they lost the quality. Unfortunately, I could not use any vibrant backgrounds because my typeface wasnt clear and showing off detail when was applied on them. So I had to choose either a really dark background or a really light one.

 

This is my final print for my A2 typeface editorial. The background I choose hopefully is appropriate to the quote. This was a picture taken with the reflection of a water bottle on a white paper background and later edited on photoshop. I am pretty happy with my outcome. The worst part was cutting out the letter forms and finding a style.

Book jacket design

 Veni, Vedi, Vici book cover re-design. This was my final book cover idea, then had to apply it to an actual hard cover wasn't that much fun ;p

This was the initial idea for Veni, Vedi, Vici but I' ve found that it didn't work as well as the final book cover.

 My first attempt for The hundred year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared. I later on changed it because I didnt find the colours appropriate to the content of the book.

My final book cover idea was this one, quite jollie and happy, very humorous book, it was worth reading it and became my favourite book :) 

This was the title page I designed for Veni, Vedi, Vici.

I considered redesigning my book with my original sketches that I later scanned, as a single page it looks fine, using it for a book jacket wasn't as appropriate as I thought it would be, still it was worth trying to make something out of it :) 

My book photoshoot :)

 

Book photoshoot 2 :)

This was my original sketch and idea of the book, I love the sketch, it turns out with a broken hand you free up your mind as well, you dont focus too much so that lets your hand run free, after I got my cast off my drawings returned to my old self :s I will try free my mind again.

This is how far I got untill now for my website, watcha think?:)

This is how it is going to look like when clicked on my website. I tried to do my website as simple as possible, hope i make it through the dreamweaver because it is doing my heading :) hehe I still have the gallery to create which is basically the most difficult part of the website creation enjoy.

The enter page

The homepage with a slideshow of images of me.

About me. Basically it brings up information about me and my contact information. there will be also a clickable link to email me straight away plus a download button for my cv. But for now we have other priorities than that :)

This is what I was working on today. This is my gallery opening page with the different sections that you can select to proceed to the following categories. The next bit is going to take me a while, because I missed out on a couple of stuff and I need to do my research for the next step. I will update soon about my website.Thank you.

Anything recommendations?Anything you don't like and needs mentioning? let me know.

This is my favicon ideas and colour palette. It is the symbol for a thinking cloud plus the letter a from my logo

This is my logo variety with the chosen colour palette. The picture is not hd unfortunately, I will put better quality images up later on. The origin of the word Haliho comes from my native language which is Hungarian and means Hello in a cute way. I wanted to name it something that sounds fun in English and still has a meaning in Hungarian because I want to represent my website in 3 languages. 

My website enter page ideas (typeface-wise)

Can't decide which one to choose ,keeping in mind the enter typeface... I like the second one more, yet the typeface for enter in the first one is closer to the logo one... help me?
