So, for my upcoming graduation, I decided to make my own invitations. Seeing as how it has taken me a cool 9 years, I decided to emulate the "Long, Long, time ago on a distant planet..." rolling credits from the first Star Wars films. It ended up being tedious, and decided against the final product and went in an entirely different direction, but in the process I realized my ineptitude of generating type. There are some really awful "Jedi" fonts out there, and I found most of them and tried using all of them. The biggest pain in the ass, from what I could gather, is that no type is set to naturally just flow together. There will always be breaks and stuff, which the designer will pain stakingly have to touch up using the pen tool. (trust me on this one...ugh)
However, I found these 4 examples of someone (with much more skill than myself) using really great, hand generated type for their Star Wars references.
I love how clean and simple the text is and the left side justification is really awesome as well. I think that it balances out the design very well.
