Smoke & Draw Night

Little flyer for a weekly drawing night. Everyone smokes....cigars and draws. Used some old drawings I’d done of drawing implements, that I jazzed up a little with some gradients. Mainly it gave me a chance to use an old/new typeface: Cosmodrome SansSerif Bold. One I did initially 20 years ago, and altered over the years. Now I’m reworking it all again to be a serif/semi-serif/sans-serif with four weights in each, OpenType typeface. As if learning about HTML coding all day isn’t enough, I then go home and in the evening build type and delve into OpenType coding. Generated it this morning. Still a whole lot to fix up and perfect here, but I was itching to fiddle with it in something other than FontLab Studio.It’s unfinished, but at some point you need to actually see it in use, whole pages of text to check the colour of it, how everything works in conjunction, that sort of thing.
