Step 1

TRAJAN typeface!!

First task that we all must do is to trace our name in Trajan typeface.
Trajan is a typeface from Rome and known as one of the oldest typeface. It was named Trajan, following the Roman Emperor Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus, commonly known as Trajan who was ruled at the time where letters start to be used as a way of communication (AD 98 - ad 117).



In 1989 Carol Twombly was the first to do translation of the Trajan into type for Adobe.






So, after got all the information about Trajan typeface from my teacher then i start to make the tracing at school

(yep, that's me -_-')

anddddd here it is :)


what do you think??? :)




I think it's interesting because we get to know more about the old style typeface and how to do it which is kinda hard because we have to really really look for the detail when we trace it.
Imagine how they do it on a stone guys......
