My font design looks at the amount of waste created from cigarette butts that are constantly thrown into the streets and gutters, and usually end up in the sea, or somewhere else where they don't do any good. Admittedly I don't help this situation, being a not quite so thoughtful smoker myself.
I created the font by rolling and shaping cigarettes into characters, photographing them, then editing them in Gimp, resulting in a messy and generally pretty shoddy outcome. Either Gimp sucks, or I just have no idea how to use it. I desperately need Photoshop! Originally my design was going to be using cigarette butts alone to shape the letters, however firstly I couldn't collect enough cigarette butts, and secondly I decided it would have looked even messy then my final outcome. I have also uploaded the original images of the letters, which probably look a whole lot better than the finished image.
In conclusion. Definitely not the greatest outcome!
