It can be a "horizontal" connection of two words or a left-right connection of two words.
Let it be done in one go, as is the common signature.
But remember not to copy mechanically, and let the strokes connect naturally before using this method.
The principle is to change one or more strokes of a word into a figure, which can be a circle, a star, a curve or a symbolic figure. , enhanced the strong visual focus.
The combination of objects and characters is actually a bit similar to the substitution method we mentioned above. It refers to adding a basic shape related to the whole (or related to the theme, in line with visual aesthetics) to the text, and the font itself has hardly changed.
The purpose of adding graphics is to enrich the meaning of the font, better express the central idea of the theme, and make the font as a whole more visually impactful. It is best to add these graphics and brand tonality together to enhance the interest! The application of strokes * * * "The application of strokes * * *" is a form widely used in the creative design of text plane.
Character is a kind of visual figure, and its lines have strong composition. We can look at the similarities and differences between strokes from the perspective of simple composition, find the internal relationship between strokes, find the conditions for the use of strokes, and refine them into one, so we can't copy them mechanically! Stroke replacement method Stroke replacement method is to delete some strokes and replace them with other forms on the basis of the original font. The so-called other forms, you can graft another font brush, or add graphic creativity.
Add details Add details, and you can make targeted design modifications according to the design theme. You often add dots at the break points of strokes and appropriate bumps to make the font unique through "extra" details.
In-word deformation method, the fonts in the font library are generally conventional and five-creation deformation. If you change the strokes in the font flexibly, you can quickly improve the design sense of the font. Compared with previous methods, this method is closer to the design.
Stroke ellipsis refers to the bold removal of some strokes in a font in order to simplify and personalize, highlight the characteristics of the text, and the degree of ellipsis. The bottom line is that after reducing the strokes, you can still recognize the meaning of the word until you don't know the word.
Lengthening strokes is a common method, that is, forcibly lengthening the strokes of a font to make the font look literary, fresh and more powerful; Can be used on women to make fonts more attractive; It can also be used in some dynamic fonts, showing a sense of strength.
Dislocation and overlapping is to combine two or more words rhythmically up and down into a whole, so that the whole font has a sense of rhythm.
The dislocation of up and down forms a sense of movement and hierarchy, which makes the primary and secondary relationship between words more clear.
Lengthening the deformed font means stretching the whole stroke up or down, which is elegant and layered.
Note: If the font looks too floating after stretching, you can add some decorations under the font, such as words, dots, lines and faces.
Origami effect superposition method is a kind of expression method in which characters and strokes overlap each other, or characters overlap each other, and characters and graphics overlap each other.
Superposition can make graphics three-dimensional. Through overlay processing and the implementation of virtual modeling, the connotation and idea of design are increased, and the monotonous image is enriched through the clever combination and expression of graphics.
Turning a curve into a straight line means turning all the bends of words into horizontal, vertical and square.
Its own characteristics are concise and clear, easy to design, which is very helpful to be familiar with the font structure.
After selecting the font, reduce the horizontal lines and thicken the vertical lines.
Similar to the traditional song style, as thin as a knife.
It can be said to be an alternative method, which is formed by alternating vertical or horizontal lines or folds with other opposites.
Simplifying strokes and adding personal feelings and life flavor to fonts can create directions accurately and design fonts that suit you.
The strokes between adjacent characters are connected by the middle line, and the cutting at the intersection makes the logo look less abrupt.
However, too many people use this method, which is rotten.
Casual handwriting always gives people a cordial feeling. For example, "Those Years" recalls the lush years of the campus, and every handwriting can't be copied, and every stroke is touching.
A font written casually with a pen or designed by imitating the feeling of handwriting has a strong charm of pen and ink, which can create a relaxed and happy cultural artistic conception.
Beautiful handwriting is an advantage, especially in the era of forgetting to write, handwriting is more precious, and the beauty of handwriting is the beauty of font.
Pen typesetting "Pen typesetting" refers to the flexible use of "pen tools" to design strokes and fonts in line form.
Sketch the prototype of the font with a pen, and then extend, shorten, thicken and thin it very quickly.
With the method of pen writing, the strokes can be curved or straight, which is very convenient to integrate into the designer's emotions and emotions and has strong craftsmanship.
Circular word-making method "circular word-making method" refers to using some circles as design specifications. When designers wake up to cutting spliced fonts based on these circles, the advantages of circular word-making method are: on the one hand, it makes fonts look radian and appear to be changed; On the other hand, it also makes our font design taller and looks justified.
The cutting method forms a sense of dislocation by cutting the strokes of the font, which makes the font look more dynamic.
Cutting can break the relative balance of the font structure, reconstruct the center of gravity of the font, change the static potential of the font into the dynamic potential, and make the font vivid.
The outline method takes the outer outline of the font as the shape, leaving a blank in the middle.
The font designed by contour method has a sense of transparency, and the outer contour can be large or small, which can change with the shape of the font.
Calligraphy and word-making calligraphy are unique traditional Chinese character arts in China, which are known as: poetry without words, dancing without words; Painless paintings, silent music.
Calligraphy is the best embodiment of the beauty of fonts.
Calligraphy always has a sense of culture and freedom, and calligraphy is often used in movie posters, cultural posters, business headlines and so on.
To sum up, the above are some font design methods prepared for you today. In fact, these methods seem simple, and everyone can understand them at a glance, but you can write a tutorial for any real method. In fact, in the final analysis, creativity and ideas are still needed.
Take calligraphy for example, if you don't understand the basic strokes, tension and expression of calligraphy, it is difficult to make magnificent fonts.
So some methods are a little far away from us, but I believe everyone can try them except calligraphy. Be sure to read more works and analyze more. Don't feel useless. Hang in there, it's you who turns cocoons into butterflies!
