3rd Artefact Evaluation
(I originally did this font before easter, but since I can't upload it to the uni servers. I'm writing the evaluation now in preparation to upload it tomorrow. )
I personally think that this design is the weaker between the Sans-serif version and the Serif version. I don't believe the Sans-serif version looks as appealing and the serif version. Why this is I'm not sure, although I think It may have something to do with the adjusted widths and stroke lengths.
This artefact has the unaltered stroke length. As in, the stroke length that the scanned in image had, this has caused problems because the scanned in image is so large, when reduced to a more mangeable size, the stroke thickness is changed. Additionally, i believe that some of the capitals don't neccessarily conform with the lower-case and will require a re-design.
There are several alterations I will make for my 4th artefact. First one being making sure the stroke thickness is the same for all characters, as upper-case and lower-case appear to differ in this aspect. Second change I will make will be to reduce the angle of the curves I have used for some letters, as well as the overall width to gain a more consistent appearance. In my next artefact I should take all these aspects into consideration, as well as how the serifs will affect the spacing of the letters as I will widen them by one stroke.
Despite these changes, I will not be making any changes to the way I create the font as a whole, the only change I shall make is the addition of the serifs, which I will do in Illustrator. This is because the additional measuring required is inefficent compared to the amount of time it takes using the software.
