Hello, this is my first post on this forum and am pretty much a beginner.
Originally I just wanted to create a type font logo with the word; 'cosqr' (A different take on my unusual surname which I really like) which would create my own personal logo (Design Identity if you wish) however on reflection I feel that creating a type face instead of just a logo would allow me to extend my identity into other parts of the work which would give presentations, designs and projects more fluidity. As I am still a design student at college I am looking to distinguish myself and am trying to create something that then later on in life I could expand as an actual brand which would grow and reach into different parts of the design world including graphic design.
Anyways, when sitting down and designing my type face today for my creative personal brand I realised I was out of my depths in this area. I know what type of font I want to include and also have sketched up the alphabet of letters in my sketchbook.
However when uploading them to the computer and tracing them in Adobe Illustrator I soon realised I had no idea what to do to create the refined and professional type face that I want, instead I had a bunch of letters which had no straight lines (just the awful rough edges.)
I just really need help to digitalise my designs. Looking for a minimalist typeface which uses white space cleverly to create an interesting yet simple font, I hope that someone can help me out here and offer advice or maybe even something more.
(Find the Illustrator jpeg of my sketches underneath)
Thank you,
Jacob
