Ruby's Blog

I chose an article that caught my eye in Eye Magazine about script. I chose it because I particularly like typography to begin with, but I've never come across an article specifically about script before. It went into the history of script and how they were created before computer technologies, and the difficulties that presented the calligrapher. I found it very informative, and I found out about techniques that were used (such as the printing plates, and alternative for when different combinations of letters are needed.) There were also lots of different examples of type faces and I found it very inspiring to look at, and do observational drawings from.
