Art 254 - Type 1 Experimental Typeface Designs (updates again)

I am pretty excited about how my lightbox type face turned out... I ended up using my wooden door instead of the boring white wall for some more texture and color. I was happy with the results as the letters came out with a nice fire like look.

I tried going back to a lamp instead of using the small LED flashlight and this time instead of having the lamp inside the box. I cut a second hole on the opposite side and it worked alright.



Here's a shot of the A being reflected onto my door. I turned on another lamp to get enough light to take this process shot but normally it was much more dark.


A closeup of the A after adjustments were made in PS to clean it up a bit.

I decided to name my font dorlite, it doesn't give the font concept off right away. Have any other name ideas?


I also tried just placing the letter stencils I cutout against a clipboard and snapping a quick picture... It gives a completely different feel. I don't like this type face as much as the dorlite.

Couldn't think of a very interesting name, clipopgraphy...
