Do you want a copy of this font? Part 2️⃣ of turning my dad’s hand writing into a font. Before I start the process of scanning all the characters, I need to go through the 1000+ notes and find the best letters. 🗄️Organization is key for a project this big.
➡️ Follow @film_bodega to keep up with the whole process
Given these notes were written over decades, the shapes and pens used changed over the years. I need to go through and create a database to keep track of everything to keep the project organized. I am going to use Notion like I do for all my big projects.
Create a new Notion database to track
🔸Song Title
🔸Artist Name
🔸Release Date
🔸DJ Notes
🔸Box the Record is in
🔸Physical State/Quality
🔸Mistakes or Markings
🔸Scan Status
🔸Adobe Illustrator Status
🔸Completion Status
Now I can track my progress, but if I miss a character or want to go back and find alternates for the ones that don’t work, I can just check the database and instantly know which box has the card I am looking for.
Now to finish going through all the boxes so I can move on to the next step.
