Our first Font Play - Coolsville Regular

**Gare** · 20 March 2012, 02:37 PM

Larry, I wasn't doing anything tricky. That's a photo of a bag from the village market Nichol's IGA in Liverpool, only color correction in PS, no retouching. Lettering was on it.

Didn't mean to mislead you-it's just Cooper Black in use.

But there could be a tutorial on how to put a logo on a wrinkled bag. I've done this sort of thing before. Let me see if I can translate what I did to Xara's tool set, okay?

A comic book style version of Coolsville. Even the name of the font is retro.
I found I had to adjust the kerning between the e and t to even out the spacing.

Some great plays here guys! Gary I like your spring plays. Bob that looks really nice a perfect use for this font.

Here is another one from me, I happened to see this "sight" and had the camera with me! I thought this would make a good font play!

A+ for that one Rik. Beleave it or not I had been thinking along the lines of a happy face too. Although it prob would not have been as "Cool" as yours. I have been hard at work on a different idea but I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
