Is anyone else as interested in the type faces we use as I am? I love different fonts, I love trying out different fonts and making up new ones. Typography is a lot like color to me, and everyone knows I love me some colors. You can express any emotion you want with your font. You can make it three dimensional, colorful, blurry, smooth, rough, big, tiny, inverted... anything you want. If it is readable it works. A lot of graffiti artists don't even bother doing that half the time.
I want to redo the banner for the blog, but I don't know what I want to do yet. So I've been doodling all over my notebook at work. The boys are impressed that I can print perfect bubble letters almost as fast as I can write normally. And they marveled at my lightning fast cursive that none of them could read. I might as well have been rapidly scribbling lines on the paper for them to gape at.
It's been a while since I have thought about my handwriting. I used to be one of those girls that tried to change their handwriting every few months. I was constantly on the search for the perfect penmanship. I've frequently switched between the different ways to write a lowercase A, giving my Bs and Ds littler and littler tails, I even tried to write a G with the hook thing on it like Times New Roman for a little while. All the bipolar mind changing about what looked good has actually made quite an impact on how I write now. You can look at a single note to someone and find contradictions everywhere in my text. I can't write the same way twice! I often switch between cursive and print and something I like to call "lazy cursive" all in the same paragraph.
I'm an admitted note writer. All my friends know that because probably all of them over the course of our relationship have received one. My addiction is farther reaching than notes though, I love lists too. You guys know this, you can find my random lists scattered in posts and an occasion one will pop up on my art page. I'm just a writer in general. I have to get everything out of my brain and on paper or I feel like I might lose it forever. Or change the idea in a way I can never get that original one back. My thoughts are like photographs and my brain is like photoshop out of control. I can't stop thinking and rethinking things, and it's hard for me to get back to my first idea sometimes.
I don't know if any of these random doodles are going anywhere, but at least it's out there now.
