DDSGN220: 05 Font - Lowercase and Symbols


Fibonacci_spiral lowercase.



Fibonacci_spiral Symbols.

DDSGN220: 04 Font - Uppercase



Fibonacci_spiral uppercase.

I used a Adobe Illustrator to draw the characters, then used Glyph to make the Illustrator characters into a font. Then exported an .OTF font file. Then I located an online font conversion website to convert to a TTF font file.

DDSGN220: 04 Font - Fibonacci Spiral





My font design is based on the Fibonacci spiral, which is based on tiling with squares whose sides are successive Fibonacci numbers in length A Fibonacci spiral created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling; this one uses squares of sizes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34. All curves in the font follow this spiral.

DDSGN220: 01 Animated Photoshop Brush



I used one of my panoramas of a decaying tree stump. In Photoshop, I added an "ant" shaped brush on several layers. In Flash, the "ant" layers are revealed by (un)masking.
From Flash, I used Adobe After Effects to add a post production animated effect changing the central leaves from green to blue. Then in Premiere Pro an intro, credits and music were added.

Introduction

A short bio of myself:
Who you are - I am me.
What you are doing - typing this intro.
What you want to be when you grow up -  older.
