36 Days of Type is a project that invites designers, illustrators and graphic artists to express their particular interpretation of the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet. A yearly open call exploring the creative boundaries of letterforms, where participants are challenged to design a letter or number each day for 36 consecutive days, as a global and simultaneous act showing the outcome of the ability to represent the same symbols from thousands of different perspectives. A project that aims to be a space for creation around typography and its endless graphic possibilities.
In every series I work on, I put a lot of emphasis on making sure that all the pieces form a unified whole. Nevertheless, all parts should stand for themselves and be unique in a way. During the 36 days, I am not interested in designing a typeface, but in exploring typographic forms and developing or trying out new design methods. This year, I specifically focused on very detailed procedurally generated chrome textures and how they are accentuated by letterforms. It's fascinating how you can create the illusion of shiny objects and reflected light situations only with graphic tools. For this, I use here only color gradients created by noise and some distortions.
The complete series is available as NFT collection on Foundation:

Teacher Plus@giuliano_witt Hey, I'm sorry, but I don't publish these filters for several reasons. From time to time, however, I load scripts into my library, which you can find under this link
