The second font design patch.

The second font design patch was designed by Oli to make me appear louder online. Our first font design patch partially failed so we took a new approach where Oli designed me a personal death metal type face so he will pay attention to me on Skype.

The first font design patch.

Our fist project we tried to patch our own relationship.

Celeste told me that I'm really distracted when we talk on Skype, I keep looking at websites  instead of talking. So we decided to design a Typeface which would try and fix this problem, we decided it would be best if we could create an illusion of intimacy with this typeface.  Something which could represent us and make it feel like we shared something. So celeste designed a typeface portrait of me according to my text results from an online personality test and her own understanding of me.



We created a key which attempted to understand my test results as different design styles:

introverted- more like Halvetica.
extraverted- more stylised.
intuitive- more like anti-design.
sensing more like swiss design.
feeling more awkward.
thinking more cold stern.
perceiving more positive feeling.
judging more negative feeling.


We decided after designing it that this was a failed patch, so we attempted to make it represent us by crossing it out.



We are still working on fixing this problem with design.
