OUGD406 - Speaking From Experience: Hand Drawn Typography

In attempt to create cards with a hand-crafted, personal and decorative aesthetic, I will be supplying each card with a hand-drawn statement word from quotes relating to time's qualities and characteristics. Via the addition of this evident craftsmanship and instilled effort, I hope to combat the 'throw-away' insignificance typically associated with the leaflets, flyers and posters that are handed to students during the preliminary few weeks at university in such an abundance that they are overlooked and disregarded. 

Through critique and consideration of my own I have been able to devise 5 quotes that will allow me to produce a set of 5 quote cards, each different and therefore providing variation and potential for students to collect each of them. I produced each hand-drawn word in Adobe illustrator, using a creative pen and tablet for true-to-form lettering with fluency and authenticity of craft. The quotes and hand-drawn statement word are detailed below:


'Time is golden'



'Time is precious'



'There is no time like the present'



'There is no time to waste'



'Make time for yourself'
