Artist's Comments

A poster I finished tonight for my Typography class. It features the font "Didot", a modern typeface. I had to present the alphabet, the 10 figures, special characters and some information about the original designer; in this case, it is Firmin Didot, who is depicted in the drawing. I might submit the separate pen and ink drawing later for those who are curious..
Oh yeah, its layout is supposed to look like the magazine "Vogue".

pen - ink - Adobe Illustrator - hoursandhours

mini-bio compiled from several publications. Drawing referenced from Anne-Louis Girodet.

Wow...that's really cool. At first glance I thought the project was a magazine about typography.

Oh thank you! I got it printed this afternoon, and it came out soooo yellow... that always happens.
Anyway, I kinda used "Vogue" as a guide for the layout, but some of it is pure Greta intuition ;)
