helvetica is lovely. but I try to break the bonds of tradition as often as possible.

i never use it but for this one no other typeface looked good enough

yeah, horse, it definitely works, and i like what you've done. Nothing wrong with using helvetica, it's an amazing font, i really do dig helvetica, but its hardwired in me to resist tradition, i think 
lately i've been trying my hand at hand-lettering. er, well, on a computer, but still, custom lettering. it's interesting, and allows me to get creative with type in a way thats still non-committal compared to making a whole typeface!

yeah i do like trying a bit of hand lettering from time to time. its a bit more "real" if you get me?
i absolutely wanna get hold of some old movable type and a printing rack.
inking up & printing some old woodblock letters and scanning them in for a piece would look so so lovely given the right project.
i know you can replicate them digitally but its not the same.
same with textures. easy to create digitally but ultimately not as satisfying as scanning in a texture you've made using paint, grit, coffee stains, crushed brick etc and using it that way. bit like digital vs analog music i guess.
or am i rambling on a bit.
anyway...
finished up and alternate version for the "...brickwall" piece i posted earlier
alternate version - front / back
original version (again)

loving that one mate - always love your stuff

Yeah wicked shot, nice tangle of wires and loving the soft focus. Getting the settings right on DSLR's can be a fickle job, but you will be rewarded with some quality shit.
Do you shoot in RAW?

With some camera's you have to use the supplied software to manipulate the RAW images.dTruk wrote:nice one horse,drokkr---i shot in raw today but had trouble getting the files working. im on some ancient version of photoshop at the moment and it kept giving me disk errors when i tried to open. downloaed some trial converter bullshit for the mean time. probably be getting new photoshop soon if i can get it cheap through uni. learnt my lesson last time when i downloaed a copy along with a nasty virusjiba wrote:Yeah wicked shot, nice tangle of wires and loving the soft focus.

Might have over done the colours a bit.
Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 8:46 pm
looks good to me although i go overboard on colours. maybe if the road was less tinted the trees/leaves would be bought out even more.
nice autumn/fall shot though. got some autumny leafy ones on the way soon.
another one from the other day: apex
