Here are some photo is have taken using my camera to use in my font book i am going to create. Here are 4 of the 20 i am going to take, i am taking them in different locations around my house and printing words which describe members of my family too me.

Example: Perfect - Mother - Candles behind the word showing warmth and welcoming.

I first experimented with the word perfect by printing the word onto a glass window but the background did not suit the word i was trying to show and fought the word protective (my dad) would be more suitable for this due to a almost dark side and serious.

The word rude was just for experimenting.. i would use the word rude for a different background but i wanted to see how it would look with object overlaying the time and surrounding it.

I will be taking many more images ..

Here is my typeface i have created again.. i created it again because on the previous one i used a accidently used a fingerprint which had been pixelised instead of using my original vector version. Also with this type it includes a-z, A-Z 1-9 and also puncuation

It needs abit cleaning up but this is the general idea of what my type will look like

Here i was just researching typeface book layouts really, i couldnt really find much but i came across this one by William Caslon.. personally i think the layout he has done is too much simular to being a newspaper its too formal for me but then again its research!


More illustration i found.. I like the 1st image above how they have used a fingerprint to create a woman wearing a dress as if that is the pattern.
And the illustration below it i like because i like the layout of how all these shapes can create and building view image .. this one doesnt really have no relivence to my fingerprint designs but i like it :D





More fingerprint illustration.
The last 3 illustrations i have found i find really techno as in futuristic due to the colour schemes and shapes and lines used to create this effect. This has made me think whether in my design should i make it more futuristic?


here are some illustrations i researched for abit of influence for my poster design or even my book page covers. this is relevant to my actual finger print design due to it also including fingerprints within the illustration. With in both images they both show different ways fingerprints can be used..
