Alphabet Typography Ideas

In this session we had the task of coming up with ideas and plans for our own style of Typography. This would help and improve our creative ability as well as encouraging us to record all of our ideas.



My first Idea was using the Star Wars characters called Pit Droids and have them forming different letters of the alphabet. My vision of this idea would be having the pit droids get into their chosen position to form the letter, e.g. the image above are 3 Pit Droids forming the letter A, 2 are holding hands to make the arch and then a younger Pit Droid is holding on to the stomachs of the other 2 droids to make the bridge that connects the A together.


My next idea wasn't my best idea and was an adaptation of the first idea. I decided to do the same thing as the Pit Droids but use other droids from the Star Wars universe. Above is a image of the letter N formed by C-3PO, a battle droid and a super battle droid. To improve and expand on this idea I would make the droids have more interaction with each other so it looked like they realistically formed the letter than just have them standing there.


My final idea I feel was my best idea and it included forming letters from the weapons lightsabers from Star Wars. My vision for this idea was to have the lightsaber hilts where they are and then the lightsabers turn on one by one to eventually create a letter.


These 2 drawings were my animation plans. I drew every letter and then added arrows to them so I knew which part of they letter would appear first and which direction the would go in.
