Creating A Font From Scratch

Font Design

Creating A Font From Scratch Graphic
Designing a font on paper, digitize it and publish it.

Problem

While designing the font, I encountered a challenge due to my poor Adobe Illustrator skills. However, I turned this into an opportunity by learning and improving my skills as I progressed with the font design. 

Insights

The challenges of font design taught me patience. I learned to embrace the process and give it the time it needed. I refined and adjusted, never rushing the outcome. 

Solution

Font design is a very time-consuming process. It requires hours of sketching, refining, and testing to create a functional font. However, in the end, all the hard work and dedication are absolutely worth it. 

High Fidelity
High fidelity wireframes. I picked one of
the three scenarios I made up and focused on creating at least three wireframes for it.

Before Testing
I again based the wireframes on Scenario #1.

After Testing
After I tested the wireframes on users I made some tweaks based on the feedback I received.

Changes Made

  • I changed the name of the subpage “Go” to “Goals” because the users did not understand what “Go” meant.
  • I removed the “Need help?” subpage and replaced it with a Chat bot logo that appears in the bottom right corner to make the home page less cluttered.
  • I added a symbol to the collapsible menu in the 3rd frame so you know it’s a collapsible/expandable menu.
Scenarios
In this stage of the project, I made up scenarios and made storyboards based on them. This scenario and storyboard is based on one of the interviews I had with a student. This shows an early iteration of an interactive campus map feature in the app.
Competitive Analysis
Through this type of research, I learned that you can ensure that your business is on par with- and consistently meet industry standards by comparing similar businesses.
