Driftwood I
developed Driftwood for use on the cover design
of Saltwater Seasonings, a cookbook by written
by Sarah Leah Chase and Jonathan Chase, published by
Little Brown &
Company. The art director wanted me to create a weathered
but friendly look for the title so I thought of what the
lettering
would look like if it was painted on a piece of dried driftwood.
After pencil sketching many ideas, this is what I finally
came up with. The characters were created by hand using pen
& ink and most of the letters have "carved"
horizontal lines drawn through them to simulate the impression
of a rough wood grain. The client was very pleased with
the
result. The
digitized version of Driftwood will contain upper and
lower case international characters as well as several alternate
swash capitals.
