This was the first brief I was given in my second year of uni. We were given a number of phrases, and were tasked with creating a typography piece that conveyed what the phrase was saying.

 

I chose "Cryptic Promenade" as the puzzling nature of it sounded exciting. My solution came from looking at mazes and merging them with the wooden planks you see on a pier at a promenade.

 

The font was intially hand drawn, and then perfected within Adobe Illustrator.
