About Speech Bubbie Schrëfttyp

Speech Bubbie ass en Schrëfttyp, deen fir laténgesch Buschtawen a chinesesch Zeeche entworf gouf. D'Sproochblubber ass en grafescht Konventiounselement, dat an Comicbicher-Dialoge benotzt gëtt, a Buchstabeformen deiten och Emotiounen an der Schreiwung un. D'Verbindung tëscht dëse zwee grafesche Elementer huet zu enger neier Struktur fir Buschtawen a Zeechen gefouert, déi op der Comicbuch-Form baséiert. D'Strichen ginn zu allgemenge Sproochblubber-Formen vereinfacht, wärend se trotzdem der Richtung vun den urspréngleche Strichen suivéieren, sou datt d'Liesbarkeet erhale bleift. De Schrëfttyp gouf als éischt mat der Hand gezeechent an duerno mat Vektor-Software produzéiert.

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.
