Process for Hand Lettered Typography Book

This hand lettered typography book contains transfers/traces of actual type that was printed off my computer. The idea was to show different font faces that interested me, relay quotes that related to typography, and also to examine the anatomy of type.

Materials:
scrapbook paper
thread and needle
permanent marker
black ink pen
HB pencil
eraser
graphite transfer paper
printed type (from computer)


Overall, I thought this project was very challenging and very time consuming.
I wasn't very thrilled with the turnout since I didn't have the time management skills to accommodate the amount of work that ended up going into the project. Had I had more time I would have gotten a lot more creative with it. I'm not really an arts and crafts kind of person so this type of thing is hard for me anyway.

Here are pictures:

Here's an example of the word documents I used to print the words / phrases so that I could trace them onto the scrapbook paper to make my book.

Here you can see where I was transferring some of the letters.

Here is the graphite paper I used to trace the letters.
It didn't really work that well because it was $4 for a 8 x 12 piece of paper. When I tried to erase my mistakes it wouldn't erase either so it must be some sort of heavy duty graphite paper.

Using a ruler was really inconvenient, so I used my library card instead to make the straight lines.

 I used Scotch Removable Tape so it wouldn't rip off my scrapbook paper after I was done tracing.

Here's the final product:
