Getting Creative with Typography

I'm not the most creative person in the world. Scratch that... I mean, I have all these creative and fun ideas in my mind, I am just not able to transcribe it with pen and paper. I guess you can say I have no artistic skills.. especially, when it comes to drawing. My drawing are still elementary... that's insulting to children actually... I know they can draw better than me :/

Anyways, so instead of drawing to release my creativeness of my mind, I decided to stick to words to convey any type of expression or feeling in a certain moment. And, with a little bit of pinterest, I discovered the fun there is to behind typography. And, every since, I've done my own version of typography - basically just sticking to quotes or verses or sayings.

Because my creative juice flow isn't what it was when I was younger, most of my creations are replica's, or at least I tried my best to replicate some of my favourites I've come across. But, they aren't exact copies, there are few variations.

So, today, I decided to share with you a few of my favourite creations! P.S. I'm obviously no professional... so don't mind if a word isn't straight or if my writing purely sucks. I like them because it was fun in the moment!

Oh, I usually share some of my creations on Pinterest... but, I haven't updated that board in a while. But, for more, you can definitely check that out below!

An Inspired Season

Typography Creation! | #AnInspiredSeason

Hello, hello! Today is the fourth day of the #AnInspiredSeason hosted by both the lovely Bailey and Katie! Today's prompt is: Pick a verse for your season and create something based on it (a blog post, a painting, a poem, anything you're inspired to make)!

As mentioned in my previous posts, I am describing my "season" as a mist. If you don't quite understand why, it is because I feel confused. Confused about where I will and should be in my near future. I am soon graduating from university, and I literally have no plans afterwards. I don't know if I am even certain about going into certain career, or completely do a 360 and go into a different career direction. Beside being confused with that, I am confused about everything about me. So, like the mist, whether you are driving or walking, it is hard to sometimes see what is in front of you. That is exactly how I feel. I don't know what is to come.

But, like how at the end of the tunnel there is light.. I truly believe that a clearer day is to come after a mist. I can only hope the same will shortly happen for me!

For today's, I decided to create a mini typography to remind myself of the good that is in store for me. Hopefully, this will inspire you as well to stay in the positive!

P.S. I made this really fast, and I know it isn't the best; but this is something I wanted to do. So, I already know I need to do more typography practice! But the point is to just don't give up! :)
