As part of the design for the album I wanted to create my own typeface as this would prevent me from using secondary resources and allow me to produce my own design for the digipak. This also allowed me to experiment with creating my own typeface, this would involve creating a design and then using the correct medium in order for this to be successful.
The image above shows the design for the typeface has been sketched out and is currently in the process of being inked. In order to create this design I listened to several of The Libertines songs as well as analysing the lyrics. As a result of this I came across the lyrics "shattered the lamp", this was in response to Pete smashing the lamp in Carl's flat while attempting to break in. I thought that this lyric would be a good reference when designing my own typeface as this reflects the band's rebellious behaviour.
This image evidences that the typeface has now be completely inked and has now been scanned to Photoshop in order to threshold the text. This would allow me to clean the lines and ensure that the typeface was to a high quality.
The image above shows that the typeface has been edited within Illustrator. This allowed me to vector the text which helps further enhance the text by tidying the lines up and ensuring that this stands out. Therefore this is the final outcome for the typeface and this will be used within the design if I think this is suitable. Overall I am pleased with the typeface as it is extremely successful and is better than I expected.
