Bitmap Monogram
The Bitmap Monogram project involved creating a modular typeface using a grid background. For my initial design I utilized several consistent patterns to design the letters, with the leftward vertical lines being 3 grid squares wide, the horizontal being 2, and rightward vertical lines being 1 wide. However, many of the other elements of the letters were inconsistent. When updating the project, I smoothed out some of the edges, as well sticking with a more consistent construction method for the letters, following the underlying grid format. The height and width of the letters was made more consistent.
Original Design
Updated Design
Initially when starting the project, I went for more abstract and conceptual designs before settling with an earlier iteration of the current design.
What Changed?
Horizontal Lines made more consistent
Less random, and more consistent, grid-based arrangement of elements
Smoothed out errors from structure of letterform
More centered and consistent scaling of upper half compared to bottom
Width of vertical and horizontal lines made more consistent
Serif-esque elements add detail more consistent with other letters
Stem was straightened
