For this project, students were given a small object to create a series marks using ink and paint. From there, the marks were used as inspiration for a typeface. The object I was given was a ping-pong ball which I used to create these marks which served as a starting point for the font 'Paintball'

Below is the font I created, which is titled 'Paintball', a reflection of the overall font aesthetic and origin. I also created a few designs to illustrate the font in use.
