FINAL T-SHIRT DESIGN

This is my final t-shirt design, overall I don't think the design came out as I hoped the font is not very imagnative and I don't think the 'swirl' and 'warp' effect that Si Scotts work has is displayed well.

HeeBok Lee Font & Spray paint outcome

 I created kinetic typography text inspired be  Hebok Lee techniques. I used different effects to create different motions such as blurs, shakes and overlapping. 

 

I drew out big bold letters with a word that is a 'informative expression' to use as my stencil. On a second sheet of A3 card I lightly trace my lettering through then sketched a pattern into the text for cutting, once I had drawn my patterns I cut the pattern out carefully (not the letters). With the two completed stencils I spray painted the first full text stencil which I then removed and place the pattern stencil.

Final T-Shirt Design

This is my final t-shirt design I tried to interpret Si Scotts unique style of typography using the 'swirl' and 'warp' tool on Illustrator.

Si Scott Interpretation

This is my interpretation of Si Scott style font. Si Scott is a artist based in the UK. He's renowned for his unique style, blending hand-crafted and hand-drawn artwork that has gained him numerous awards and well known client list. So far in his career produced work for Vogue, Nike, Tiffany & Co and Sony to name a few. As well as contributing to advertising campaigns for Guinness, Absolut and American Express. He warps ends of the letters then swirling it, he doesn't use a lot of color most of his work is in black and white with simple input of colour. I created my own Si Scott inspired typography using wrap and twirl tool in Illustrator. With my saying and expression text I chose a simple and bold font Impact, I separated the letters to give space between the letters for the swirl effect. I then selected the Wrap Tool to drag and extend edges of letters so that I could start to swirl the extend parts of the letters. I also added extra lines to swirl.
