    ---------

    I think this might be partly due to the fact that we were asked to only design one glyph, not having to take the other characters in account gives you all the freedom to design the glyph how you want it to be. Not having to make adjustments for character combinations (kerning) or repeating design-elements in other glyphs.

    I have a healthy interest in type-design and really liked this little project (as you might have guessed by the fact that I did 3 glyphs). Maybe the format needs to be changed just a little to give it the effect you were hoping for. (inspirational projects: http://www.dailytype.ru/ / http://www.flickr.com/groups/122… )

    • I love dailytype too, but I hoped there would be more discussion and visible process. But it's ok, it's QBN, not typophile after alljimbojones
    • yeah you're right jimbo, no real process or development here. people tend to post and just forget about it. i guess we're all too busy with work and fappping to think about design stage 2jimzyk
