Graphic Design students create very popular fonts 2013

 

As part of the Graphic Design Diploma, students are asked to design new and creative fonts based on a chosen theme. The fonts are then formatted in FontLab and uploaded to DaFont.com for distribution. As you can see from the amount of times the fonts have been downloaded that the fonts, as always, are extremely popular designs. Winning the download is Michael Wong's Nouveau Fontdue design. Well done all Designers.
