tracklists & calligraphy
Added 2020-05-22 20:18:47 +0000 UTCi have always made a point since my debut album to write all the tracklists by hand
it usually takes me at least a week per album
i try lots of things; switching from right hand to left hand, squinting, different inks, taking breaks, spending time... i never know exactly what i'm looking for textwise but i always have an idea of the mood of how i'd like for it to feel. over the years i like the idea of developing a textstyle for each album. i remember being so torn between whether to apply to study music or design-- i remember why the idea to handwrite things was born: i love typography so much that i couldn't dare my my mind up about which typeface would work to convey each title, lovingly chosen. so- i thought, ok! lemme roll up my sleeves and make it as personal as i can ! xen, mutant, and now kick - it's a tradition i am excited to continue <3 there's something of a ritual element to it now. it was interesting to write other musicians' names! since this is the first one with vocal features it was the first time I wrote other artists' names out by hand, it felt very exciting , that part <3
; i wanted to share these two images to share the difference between the final vector and the original handwriting-- there's a bunch more images of different songs, drawings make me so happy to be able to share with u here <3 if you're into this sorta thing i can share some more of my calligraphy projects , lmk !
love

2020-05-22 20:22:41 +0000 UTCI love how u wrote each artist’s name borrowing elements from their own work and brand but applying your vision as well. So thoughtful, also yes, typography is so interesting and the way you’ve hand-written all these shows dedication cause this is part of your vision too ❤️

2020-05-22 20:22:09 +0000 UTCAle, I know you were looking for methods to create the hand-written patron notes. I think this would be a neat application of your love of typography/calligraphy! I realize it would probably be very time-consuming, but just a suggestion<3
