Font Making Workshop - May 6th at 2pm
Learn the basics of font creation through development of a real live font with master Alphabetician Chank Diesel. Kick up your design capabilities with a new understanding of type design at this hands-on font-making workshop. Participants will work together using readily available resources to create a fresh new alphabet, then we'll scan it in and turn it into a font in real time while you watch and help.
Learn the basics of Fontlab˙ font editing software through the practical creation of a new font, which will be released as a free font at Chank.com. We'll be filming a video at the event, too, to help show other people how the font was made. The event will be hosted at the new offices of Clockwork Active Media Systems on E. Hennepin Ave, in an old auto service station that's been completely renovated into a state-of-the-art tech center.
