My new blog

Very exited that some people have blogged on urbanpattern.blogspot.com
Thanks guys!

New blog

The new blog where people can now put their comments on places they would like to share with others can be found at www.urbanpattern.blogspot.com

Making my research work

I have been trying to think of a way to tie all my research together - I thought I would let you all know my ideas. I am going to place signage around the city pointing out 'hidden' spots that might interest people. The signage will have a web address on it. I am going to create a blog where people can post their own 'hidden' hot spots of Melbourne - this way including those that inhabit the city! Also people can find out what all the patterns around the city mean!

Completed typeface

I realised I had not posted my final typeface yet - well here it is - with a beautiful 's' and all. Enjoy

Punctuation

I have been working for many hours on the punctuation - especially the ampersand! By the way I hate the person who invented the ampersand. Since my lowercase is quite rounded and my uppercase is mre square, I think the punctuation fits in.

Building Codes

Not sure if you can see properly but I have now completed my 'fine and sunny' typeface as shown above. It is like a code where each building represents a letter.

Melbourne Buildings

Here is a snippet of my illustrative typeface.

More Patterns

Some more patterns that I have created from my typeface.

City shots

Some research from walking around the city. (probably blogged in the wrong order)

Signage System

I have applied the patterns around the city, so taking my typeface back into the city. This will form a signage system which will direct people to hidden spots around Melbourne.

Pattern K

I have started creating patterns from the letters in the alphabet, this is a K pattern.

Melbourne as a typeface

And here it is in context. It would be good to also make a typeface based on one of these letters.

City Typeface

I have completed the typeface by walking around the city and letting the letters reveal themselves to me. It's addictive.

Typeface at work

An example of the typeface being put to use.

Punctuation..

Based on the grid I did the punctuation too, now I can write meaningful sentences using my typeface!
