Stitch the Lids

I’ve been really interested in custom lettering for a long time now. I’ve just started producing work that I’m happy with. There’s something abotu custom lettering and fonts that appeals to both sides of my personality. It has the creative influence of finding out where each letter is going and how they’re interact with eachother. Then comes in the technical side of getting it into illustrator. But then my obsessive side takes over and I get lost trying to make everything exactly right. I think my work suffers here, I try to line everything up too much and it all  ends up being too exact and looking a little stiff. But I’m working on it.

    i like how it turned out. the ‘the’ looks good. its still hard to make out he ‘c’, it keeps throwing me off.it still looks sick

    yeah, that ‘C’ sucks… but I love symmetry, too much.

    I know exactly what you mean about getting really anal in Illustrator. I could spend days making sure points are in exactly the right place.
    Looks great, although I would agree that the “c” is a bit funky.
