To edit my font on the computer and to make it digital, as well as to fulfil the brief by making a PSD mockup, I needed to put my font into Adobe Illustrator and then into Adobe Photoshop.

I started by scanning in the drawings of my typeface and then opening them within Adobe Illustrator. I then followed the instructions from the post on ‘creating your own handwritten font’ which I made a post on earlier.

I made the background a dark colour so that I could easily see where the white parts were that I needed to get rid of. I found this particularly difficult as, where I had hand drawn it, some of the lines did not quite join up and so it made it harder in Illustrator.

I was not happy with this, although it was only my first attempt, as I thought that it looked messy and very unprofessional and was not at all how I wanted it to look. For next time I would not draw on the diamonds but would add them later on as I think that they do not look very good and look unclear.
