Pretty PHI

#phi #1.618 #phisequence #patreon

Here's a view of one of my @patreon rewards for this month

PHI to multiple places



To view this and more please visit https://www.patreon.com/JVartndesign

It was made by typing up the numbers with the text tool in #Inkspace then adding a color gradient to the text plus one other filter (hey I'm not giving away EVERY detail of my techniques) 
a Black bg was adding and the whole thing was exported as a png and uploaded

This is in the $5 tier but I also have $1 rewards and art visible for all patrons and the public 

If you don't like using @patreon please consider using the paypal tip jar if you're downloading from here or my DeviantArt site.

The quest for the Square Root of Five !

THE QUEST FOR THE SQUARE ROOT OF FIVE
or how to get a headache doing research for a design

I scrolled down through the Character Maps for dozens of fonts trying to find just one with a mathematical operator subset of square root symbols.

I finally found one font with a square root of five symbol only Inkscape would not let me import or generate it as it had no unicode so finally I have up and did what I should have done in th efirst place instead of wasting a few days trying to find a short cut.

I took a square symbol symbol added nodes to it and used the nodes to lengthen the top stroke !


This is the plain base version. Now that I finally have it I will be adding colors filters and backgrounds and hopefully you will soon have some more "pretty equations" and maths / STEM art for DeviantArt and patreon and Red Bubble !

Number Styles

#Number  #font #styles

I'm working on a poster image involving numbers for my Pretty Equations series
Here's a look at one of my reference workspaces !


Up of 30 possibilities I narrowed it down to 10 and out of this list I'll narrow it down to two or three

I started with sans serif at top and put in a mixture of formal bold italic serif decorative etc for study purposes as I try to decide which is the most elegant yet legible !

Which would you use?
