Last week, I par­tic­i­pated in Doc­tor Popular’s 4 hour font battle.

Using Yourfonts.com we all made a type­face, in 4 hours.

Here’s what I did:

Comic Serif

Alas, I was not tri­umphant in this bat­tle of fonts.
It made me make my own type­face though, which I’ve been mean­ing to do for years.
I’m inter­ested in mak­ing some­thing with­out time lim­its some­time, but it will have to wait for a bunch of my other projects to be fin­ished first!

You can read the results here.
& down­load everyone’s fonts here.

& the win­ner is: 

BOTH OF US!

That’s right guys, it’s a tie. 

Vot­ing hap­pened both on this blog post, and on Aimee’s flickr page.
And the tally was closed at 15 votes each.

So who designed what? 

As if it wasn’t obvi­ous, the left design was mine:

star st.germain


Detail shot here.

and on the right was Aimee’s lovely design:

aimee thorne

This was a whole lot of fun, and I’m plan­ning on doing more design chal­lenges like this in the future…this time with more participants.

Thanks to every­one who voted, and let me know if you’d be inter­ested in sub­mit­ting if I held another design con­test of this sort. 

the great helvetica challenge

flightskoolsociety.com and thisisstar.com go head to head in a helvetica-off.

the chal­lenge: using only Hel­vetica Black 72 point, 14 point, and 6 point, and color, cre­ate visual inter­est only using the dummy type “lorem ipsum”

For the pur­poses of fair­ness, we will be vot­ing blind.
We’ll let you know tomor­row who designed what!

Vot­ing ends tomor­row (Tues­day) at 12 pm PST.
