This is the first round. I really wanted to do something shapely (that is, anything besides the traditional rectangular header) that was transparent around the edges. I also wanted to have an animated character in it, but keep the animation itself to a minimum. Hand-crafted text, because....
.... when I start messing around with fonts, I spend hours and hours and hours doing something like this. The word "art" is 2 different fonts arranged on top of each other, and "animation" is 2 different different fonts arranged atop each other. "Alliteration" is actually a combination of chopping up, transforming, and re-arranging 4 different fonts. I wanted to keep some element of having a character in the header, as I feel most of the work I do is character-oriented anyway. I think along with looking snazzy, the header should sum up (or at least hint at) what's in store.
I haven't really had the time to do a 3rd option yet, but I did like the way this design looked before I added the element of color. I wanted to maybe get rid of the character (just for some variation) and try animating some kind of movement on the letters themselves, but unfortunately a mostly-flattened file is all I can find. I suppose I forgot to save the original UBER-LAYERED file. This isn't to say that the effect I'd like to achieve is impossible, I'm just.... not up to it right now. Hahaha. I'll come back in later and edit the header (and this post?) if necessary.
Can you tell I really like this font arrangement?
