Inspired by 36 Days of Type, this 3D type exercise series is inspired by contemporary minimalist sculpture and architecture. It uses a contrast of geometric and organic shapes to create letterforms with various tone-on-tone materials and textures.

I first collected inspiration and reference photos exploring textures, colours and shapes.

I then created a sketched out of thumbnail sketches until I was satisfied with a design for each letter of the alphabet.

Next, I drew a few styleframes in Photoshop to land the intended aesthetic and lighting.

Once approved, I cleaned up all of the sketches to use as a reference during the modelling process. During this process, I created a quick blockout in 3D using the sketch as a guide to verify if it was functional.

Modelling, lighting and compositing was completed in Blender.
