Further isometric vibes

Life and TypeMy friend Will Colley gave me a copy of Fontsmith’s “The Collection” catalogue a few weeks ago which is a really beautiful set of typefaces demonstrated in print. The booklet is sprinkled with some extra pages which show various grid types, including a nice isometric grid and dotted isometric grid. It made me pretty nostalgic for the days back in primary school when I first drew on isometric dotted paper to make various shapes and the like.

It inspired me to open up the Adobe Illustrator isometric template that I published back at the end of December and get something new drawn. This was the work of about twenty minutes using the guides and some good snapping adjustments. I’m pretty happy at how quickly it’s possible to get stuff made using the template. It’s a significant win if you’re used to trying to draw anything isometric manually.

    Am I think only one who thinks it looked like a slightly bigger budget version of Dr Who? It was definitely a kids thing I guess.
