I’ve had a few people ask me about the typeface used on my Awesome poster, so I decided to post a few different versions I created as I built the 3D chrome effect. The type was 100% handmade in Illustrator CS4, no fonts involved. I’ve only attempted this a few times in the past and took this opportunity to really push the vectors. The inspiration comes from Judas Priest and Metallica’s Ride the Lightning.
So, I’ll let the images above do the talking. Nothing really advanced here, just a few shapes, skews and gradients. Enjoy!
