VectorVonDoom 521 Posted June 8 Or most things starting with V! Bit of a doodle, I was going to have it as a solid pattern but liked the look of sort of capping the top and bottom and leaving some background. 33 StuartRc, IndieGuy, Fred Lespine and 30 others reacted to this Marc Affinity Designer Resources & Tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeW 1,134 Posted June 8 Exquisite. A whole set of those would be one of the best uses for a colored font I can think of. Mike My computer is a nothing-special Toshiba laptop with unremarkable specs running Windows 10 64-bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorVonDoom 521 Posted June 8 Thanks. You could do that now as SVG fonts are starting to be supported, so you can can have colour, gradients etc. Would be quite fun but would need some planning to give them a consistent look. A quick go at colouring it. 22 StuartRc, PierreLR, Ellias and 19 others reacted to this Marc Affinity Designer Resources & Tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AffinityJules 115 Posted June 8 Cripes! If this is what you can produce when you're bored, then I'm all for seeing what you produce when you're interested. 1 1 IndieGuy and Kasper-V reacted to this Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

A quick go at colouring it. Nice. It takes a lot of consideration because they would need sufficient contrast if the color version was printed to a b/w device. There also would need to be a bit simplified version in the lower ascii slots not using color so there would be a fallback. QXP supports all color font formats through the output stage. They would make for some beautiful drop caps, both in print and as an html5 publication. My computer is a nothing-special Toshiba laptop with unremarkable specs running Windows 10 64-bit.

VectorVonDoom 521 Posted June 10 I probably do too. It's not great but it's not something I've really tried before, will have to do some more practice. Marc Affinity Designer Resources & Tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gdenby 484 Posted June 10 More fine work. Admired the curled paper style "A" a few days ago. But I'm all for cheap thrills. Like the color. But what happens if the indigo in the 1st iteration turns into a dot dapple? iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorVonDoom 521 Posted June 10 Thanks, it's fun trying new stuff but I do need to have a look around at other works including engravings and improve as it's a bit crude and doesn't flow well enough. I'm not sure how it would look, I assume that's stippling? I'll try tomorrow if I have the time, another thing I've not done before (but that's one of a very, very long list).

VectorVonDoom 521 Posted June 14 I did try stippling instead of the purple section but it wasn't an improvement. I'll have a play with another V when I get the time. Marc Affinity Designer Resources & Tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ros 225 Posted June 14 Love it. It reminds me a little bit of the old Spanish cards by Heraclio Fournier, but cleaner and more detailed, of course. http://jjros.dribbble.com https://www.instagram.com/rosvectors/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorVonDoom 521 Posted June 14 Not seen those before,. Had to do a quick google and looks like they still make them. I do quite like the idea of trying to doing the whole alphabet, a bit fancier and more refined. But soon won't have time for play for quite a while, will be too busy with AI work, so will have to see. Marc Affinity Designer Resources & Tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
