I found the whole process educational. To begin I drew some ‘Toast’, thoughts, thumbnails. I roughly drew up some lettering that has been rattling around my head. the one used appears to be a hybrid of two of my typeface, I’m drawing up & inputting into ‘font Forge’ to create the font, that will display the letters, on the computer, at the moment.

I scanned my drawing which output as a .tiff. then dropping the.tiff image into ‘Image Vectorize’. My first time. The App did exactly what it said in the thing, (app store). I opened the .eps document it output, into ‘Affinity Designer’. There I altered the vector image to tidy the lettering as desired.

I transferred the image above to my phone. In snapchat via settings I activated memories to save snaps. Now I could import photos from my iPhone gallery into snapchat and edit as well as my capabilities allow. I’ve a lot to learn. I created slides of my progress saving them to gallery until I could load them again in order to my story. Sequence complete I saved my story to memories. This allowed me to send the story to whom I wished. On this occasion to cbearhall for her competition.

I’ve learned, a great deal from the experience. I need to work on the timing. How long should each slide display to be read? Not so long as to hinder the message being understood. As ever there are a number of things I’d change about the final piece had I had the time & the know how. Practice Practice, Practice.

Drawing in Snap Chat, even with zoom is a learning curve. That too will come with practice.
