36 Days of Type

I decided to take on the 36 Days of Type challenge on Instagram, using the experience to develop and expand my character design skills. I initially illustrated one character per day, then decided to further the challenge and animate each character as well 😁 You can view them all on my Dribbble and Instagram pages: https://dribbble.com/shannonlanktree   / syrupsprinkles   My aim was to create a variety of 'characters' using typography's most basic and recognisable forms as a starting point, expanding on this almost to the point where it barely resembled a letter or number, focusing instead on the character itself, its personality and the story it told. Though it was sometimes a challenge to avoid clichés and obvious choices, I believe the discipline of doing so pushed me to create some pretty unique visuals, to explore my illustrative style, and develop my overall creative and problem solving skills.
