Seb Lester

These are some examples of Seb Lester's work in

Carolyn Sewell

Carolyn Sewell is a graphic designer who specializes in hand rendered type. Among the paid work she does there is a great deal of personal projects such as the post card set she sends to her parents every week. 

I admire the huge range of style and skill she has in the field. Although not the style i tend to look at i have found it really useful to see the different ways letters can flow together. 

I wish i had more time to draw experimentally to get my skill in this field up but im not sure if i would like to pursue it as one of my main skills in graphic design. 

Skullduggery Clothing

Not the biggest fan of this clothing company but i feel like they have a big enough range for a small company for me to talk about them. They have a large range of vest, tee's, jumpers and even jewellery. 

The majority of the designs are really simple and minimal and they use a lot of tie-die.

I don't even think they have a logo but maybe this is what they intended in the day of all this vintage unbranded clothing appearing.

Also the photographing of the products is extremely varied each photo is using a different hanger and the background colour is changing constantly.

I personally don't like this stuff but i think they know their target market and thats who would appreciate this work. 

Full Beam Clothing

Full Beam Clothing is a relatively small company who hasn't got many designs but applies their designs to a range of clothing and colours. They have a nice died t-shirt which i wouldn't mind experimenting with. 

Merch Asylum

I was put into contact to this T-shirt supplier and printers buy the clothing company X C V B. They are based in Cardiff and specialize in screen printing. They have many clients who they print for but they also do things like re-labeling, supply clothing, heat-press.

I will be in emailing Merch to enquire about their t-shirt stock and potentially other clothing items such as Jumpers and hoodies.

Other Styles of Illustrative Type

This one below is a loverly piece of type i love the way the shading lines make it look 3D. The capitals work really well together and create a nice focus for the logo. 

This one again uses 

Handwritten Type

These are two very attractive pieces of illustrative typography. I think these are the closest representation of design that i am thinking for Loose clothing logo. 

This piece that says focus flows very well i especially like the s' at the end. 

I really like this series of letters they flow nicely and the X hight varies with each letter which makes it seem more hand rendered.

Stunning Photography

I found some amazing black and white photography form the tumblr blog Crocodilia. It isn't the original source of the photographs so unsure about copy write of the photographs. 

These images would make beautiful single colour screen print t-shirts. If i wanted to use these legally i would have to find the original source and look into the copy-write of the photos. 

There is a veritity of imagery and i think photography is having a boom in interest. Due to the huge numbers of photographic blogs 

Hand Rendered Type.

This page of the word "The" is a lovely experimental page it all flows beautifully. Although most of the  wording is produced in a similar way there are differences in each. i think this is a good way to perfect your logo. You may have a style you like but there are so many form a letter can take so i will use this to help explore as many letter forms possible.  

Very simple piece of type but it sits well on the page. I think the off white really brings out the black. I am wanting to produce something with a little more going on but i still appreciate the work. 

Here is a nice piece of written type. i like the unfinished style where you can see the natural cured the pencil is taking compared to if it had been finished and these line rubbed out.

Illustrative Type.

I am starting to look at illustrative type to give me some inspiration to give me some ideas for the Clothing logo i am going to produce with chris.
This piece was produced for Delaware state motto where artist were asked to illustrate there states motto.
I really like this drawing below, although it has a very american feel to it i think the letters flow beautifully together. the L at the start and Y at the end make a really attractive frame for the word.

I think when it has been taken into the computer it has lost some of its charm and seems to have less personality.

Vapour Clothing

This is probably my favourite clothing website that i have found. They have a really nice range of single colour prints. I like the style and also how they have many logo identities but are all still funneled into one style very well. 

I will see if i can make any contact with them and ask about printing methods and suppliers.
