DESIGN NAME: Speech Bubbie
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Type Design
INSPIRATION: Speech Bubbie is a graphic convention used most commonly in manga books during dialogues. Similarly,fonts connote emotions in writing.Realising the connection between these two graphic elements,designers borrowed the form from comic books to reformulate the structure of alphabets and Chinese characters. Strokes are simplified into generic forms of speech bubbles while still following the direction of the original strokes,therefore retaining the readability of the character.

In this way, the dialog graphics are combined with the font strokes

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Speech Bubbie is a graphic convention used most commonly in manga books during dialogues. Similarly,fonts connote emotions in writing.Realising the connection between these two graphic elements,designers borrowed the form from comic books to reformulate the structure of alphabets and Chinese characters. Strokes are simplified into generic forms of speech bubbles while still following the direction of the original strokes,therefore retaining the readability of the character.
CHALLENGE: To integrate figurative graphics into font strokes, first of all, we must achieve recognition, and second, we must convey the conceptual graphics to be designed.
