Moving on from studio brief one, we were to take our strongest concept and produce- digitally- an entire alphabet. Out of my final 10 letterforms I chose to develop my periodic table idea, so here's a brief re cap of the concepts behind it.
I started with helvetica and the word evolve. For my research and visual inspiration I looked at examples of text and type based around evolve- e.g. Charles Darwin's handwriting, the text using in On the Origin of Species, types from the Gutenberg bible and type used in the periodic table of elements.

| Fun fact! The type used in the table is actually Arial not Helvetica. |

The table of elements inspired the layout of letters, placing lowercase next to uppercase, the challenge was making sure they looked like separate glyphs, like in the periodic table but yet merging them to make a single letterform.
