OUGD601: Practical - My Input (5)

Adding More Borders

Below I've played around with more borders:






I was not sure how to end the corner of the leaf pieces, so tried a few ideas:



I settled with a simple connecter: 



To create symmetry, I worked on a quarter to the tile at a time: 






An inverted option too: 


From the above form, I managed to create quite a detailed divider: 



A more geometric pattern:







I used the previous flower to create another pattern: 



I felt the below design was too light, so the corner pieces had their size reduced...





                                                                                                                                                              

 Adding Currency Symbols

Marsi had already added a pound symbol, but I wanted to ensure the font could be used globally, so other symbols were added. 

A Yen sign was easy to create:



The Euro sign is a C with added bars, and a decreased overall width. The stem was thickened to compensate for this reduction. 


A dollar sign was added, with sharp ends to the stem, to give some character seen in the exclamation mark and question mark. 



A Baht sign was composed of a B, with the dollar sign's added stem: 



The Peso symbol used the same bars as the pound sign, but higher. 


A Kip was also added, as a modification of a K:


A cent sign was added as a reduced c, with extra stem width to compensate: 


A currency symbol: 


                                                                                                                                                              

More Mathematic Symbols

I added more mathematic symbols so that the maths set could be used more. 










                                                                                                                                                              

Ampersand

I began by attempting to create an ornate ampersand. 



After lots of adjusting, I felt this did not work and was too top heavy. 


I reduced the serif, and felt this option is much more successful, something I am really proud of.
