type(d)writer

I have a sub up on t'threadless & it 'seems' to be doing quite bouyantly. It is also part of The Joy Of Text 2: Textual Healing side compo, run by some rather stout chaps through the blog forum. The aim being to produce designs that utilise text, preferably hand created, as the main feature of the design. It's kind of a riposte to the anti-text brigade who find no mirth or merriment in the beauty of type... philistines!



I put plento of effort in this design, building up the image of a typewriter with a handdrawn typewriter font, layering the type to give depth. I kept it a black on white design just to emphasise the simplicity of what a typewriter is, & run parallel to the traditional black ink on white paper. I'm quite pleased with it so I'll just have to keep me fingers crossed.

If anyone does happen across these meanderings, the link below takes you to me sub on which you can vote accordingly, god bless.



update: 2.8! That's a pretty good show going by recent subs. Puts me second currently in the JOT2 rankings, so we'll just keep our bits crossed for that threadless email.
