About me Text:
Hey, I’m an interaction design student, filmer, editor, and a happy student living in lockdown. My aims are to create clean and navigatable designs accessible to everyone and anyone. I pride myself on my illustrations and design and continue to develop my understanding of composition and color. Other than designing I spend my days doing sport and competing at an international and national level in kayaking.

I was browsing youtube and I’ve always been interested in ai and after this lecture, I wondered what the possibilities with ai and typography was and managed to stumble across a video called
“Uppercase and Lowercase Letters”
this is created by a guy who specializes in creating his own fonts along with messing around with ai
In the video, he explores the use of ai to create and analyze fonts and typography, during the project he begins by aiming to create upper case letters which later turns into a letter identifying program. My favorite parts have to be how identifiable the recreated fonts are to their originals.
