To make it, I first wrote out DFTBA in the typeface Din (which incidently is the typeface RISD uses in all their publications, so I kept getting reminded of RISD flyers while making it). I decided to use Din because it was bold enough to fit lots of text inside and it was narrow enough to not look oddly proportioned on a wallpaper. Then I laid out all the text for the letter D, using many different typefaces which I don't feel like listing here (if you want to know what a specific one is, feel free to ask). Then I laid out the rest of the letters, keeping the typeface and color consistant for each phrase and trying to keep the size as consistant as I could, though some of them had to be made larger or smaller to get everything to fit.
That's about all there is to it. I may work with it more in the future to give it an actual application, but for now I think it works fine standing alone as a wallpaper. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
I really do love this wallpaper - I even chose it over a dozen of awesome gaming wallpapers (which is a big deal for me). I'm sure Hank would be most proud of it :)

ReplyDeleteAwesome wallpaper, Karen. =) I will most definitely have to use it.
ReplyDeleteVery sleek wallpaper! I've been using it at work, and people keep asking keep what DFTBA stands for. I tell them the usual, but that it's pretty versatile. :)
