Playing with ideas for generative type. These sketches use a modified (off-lattice) Eden growth model, with a bitmap of the type used as a constraint for growth. The different textures come from tweaking the growth rules. View this one high res to see the fine detail.
I'm happy to say that I have work in Steven Heller and Lita Talrico's book, Typography Sketchbooks. The book is packed with heavy hitters (Art Chantry, Ivan Chermayeff, Milton Glaser, Erik Spiekermann), I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing in their company! When asked to contribute for the theme of typography sketchbooks, I decided to use the notes and files from the design process for the Frazer/Montague Design logo. The first spread is from an actual notebook and the second is one of the sprawling Illustrator documents I generate when I am trying out different directions for the design of a logo. I might have been a little too honest, a lot of the work in this book looks like finished work that involves typography. Also, they don't show my final design, for the logo, but that's OK, the reader basically gets a sense of it from the first spread.

While cleaning out an old portfolio I ran across a paste-up of a typeface that my husband designed. He would work on an alphabet, then paste the individual letters on a board with reduction instructions for the printer. The printer would print a volume of sheets that I would use to paste up words for display headings that would be reduced to whatever size would be needed to use in a mechanical.
The old-fashion way of having a typeface in display sizes to use when nothing was available, all long, long before Fontographer.
I laminated the whole sheet to use as a teaching aid when I taught typography classes and it got such heavy use that the laminating material is pealing off.
Driving on Interstate 44 from Springfield to St. Louis Missouri is pretty boring.
But then you pass by this amazing building with the most fascinating type ever and it just makes your day.
