The Design

About Speech Bubbie Pisava

Speech Bubbie je pisava, zasnovana za latinične črke in kitajske znake. Govorni oblaček je grafična konvencija, ki se uporablja v dialogih stripov, hkrati pa tudi oblike črk nakazujejo čustva v pisanju. Povezava med tema dvema grafičnima elementoma je privedla do nove zgradbe črk in znakov, temelječe na obliki stripovskega govornega oblačka. Poteze so poenostavljene v splošne oblike govornih oblačkov, pri tem pa še vedno sledijo smeri izvirnih potez, tako da je čitljivost ohranjena. Pisava je bila najprej narisana ročno, nato pa izdelana s programsko opremo za vektorsko oblikovanje.

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.
