Type for Yorkshire cards - development


Creating swatches and testing them as fills for the Helvetica font. I like the example on the left but you can see the joins - white gaps. Need to work on this...

 
Increasing the initial swatch size before transferring it into the swatch panel seems to work beter at removing the gaps. I can still see some though. I won't rest until it is perfect!



Ahhhh success!



The initial swatch needs to be the size of which the area of type is going to cover, so for these lines of text the swatch needed to be rectangular rather than square. All a bit over my head but at least it works and there re no gaps. Now to test colour, more swatches to make.
