Holt wip

A Typeface project. Still have to finish a few letters, and fix others. Will upload when I finish the rest.
The inspiration for the letters was my favorite place "Ugluholt" (Owl Hill), or in short "Holt." A place where life is simply perfect.
As a whole the typeface goes through the life of Ugluholt from A to Z, the plants and birdlife. Thus A stands for Auðnutittlingur (Common red pull), B stands for Bees and Blueberries, D is Dagstjarna, E is Eyrarrós, F is Fifa etc. etc.

A short assignment to create a product involving water and then to brand it.
My focus became the importance of water and the different symbolic meanings it has had through history, diving into alchemy and ideas such as the memory of water.
With this as focus the product became a glass vial neckless including the precious substance as well telling of the water's origin and place of retrieval.Branding, Graphic Design, Product Design2011 -
