what if you were a spaceship?

A blast from the past, an old game that I thought I lost forever in a hard drive crash. Today I found one of the most recent versions of the game on my flash drive, and so I decided to finally upload it to newgrounds. Mind you, I have lost the source files so can't fix the last few bugs (i.e. the "W" key glitch), but aside from that and a few other things, this stands as what I wanted to accomplish with the game.

calligraphic doodles

In one of my classes this week, I had the honor of participating in a workshop with calligrapher/designer Karen Charatan. I'm not much of a designer, so this kind of stuff isn't exactly the most riveting thing in the world to me, but seeing her make O's with perfectly shaped centers and B's with precisely the right proportions was still pretty impressive.

Here is one of the pages of lettering I came up with. I responded to the texture of overlapping words, and the repetition of trying to find the perfect shape for a letter. I'll definitely be experimenting more with calligraphy now that I got a feel for it.
