About Speech Bubbie Cruth Cló

Is cruth cló é Speech Bubbie atá deartha do litreacha Laidine agus do charachtair Shíneacha. Is gnáthchleachtas grafach é an bolgán cainte a úsáidtear i gcomhrá leabhar grinn, agus tugann foirmeacha litreacha le fios freisin mothúchán sa scríbhneoireacht. Mar gheall ar an nasc idir an dá eilimint ghrafacha seo, tháinig struchtúr nua chun cinn do litreacha agus do charachtair atá bunaithe ar fhoirm an leabhair grinn. Simplítear na stríoca ina gcruthanna ginearálta bolgáin chainte, ach leantar treo na stríoca bunaidh fós, sa chaoi go gcoimeádtar an inléiteacht. Tarraingíodh an cruth cló ar dtús de láimh agus ansin táirgeadh é le bogearraí veicteora.

Unique Properties: Inspiration comes from: the text box on the text message on the mobile phone is a dialog box graphic, at the same time, on our social chat software, dialogue voice or text, there are dialog box graphics, and the dialogue on the comics we see is also composed of dialog box graphics of. In this way, the dialog graphics are combined with the font strokes
Dimensions & Packaging: Variable size
Tags: Graphic text, Chinese character font design, dialog font
Production Technology: Adobe Illustrator/ hand drawn draft
Design Challenge: To integrate figurative graphics into font strokes, first of all, we must achieve recognition, and second, we must convey the conceptual graphics to be designed.
Research: Speech Bubbie is a graphic convention used most commonly in manga books during dialogues. Similarly,fonts connote emotions in writing.Realising the connection between these two graphic elements,designers borrowed the form from comic books to reformulate the structure of alphabets and Chinese characters. Strokes are simplified into generic forms of speech bubbles while still following the direction of the original strokes,therefore retaining the readability of the character.
