Lately I’ve been receiving various Emails where people ask me how to make letters out of objects. I’ve decided to prepare a brief tutorial which covers the whole process of making letters. During these few years my technique of making fonts has evolved.
First letters were created without additional lights, and were photographed with small digital camera which I held in my hand. Even in bad technical conditions you can make letters of good quality if you stick to these rules. Step 1 The materials you need for making this project are: half a kilo of beans,check list of letters,a stand and a photo camera,a few pencils,a felt pen and a drawing book,a couple of table lamps or a day light,a surface for shooting,basic skills for processing a picture in Photoshop,and a lot of good will, feeling for details, and patience. Step 3 Decide what surfice you prefer, I prefer a white working surface. Step 7 Open each letter in a photoshop, arrange the contrast, colour and sharpness if necessary.
