Elon Musk’s Experimental Typography

I want to explain about my font design, my fonts were inspired by technology. It comes up when I was take a look at a new car design of Elon Musk’s team. And I am thinking, what if I make my font like futuristic or something like that.
And then I made it up with that idea, I was searching for the model of futuristic car and the color of it, the futuristic car are basically have shifted shape model. I mean Aerodynamic model, it makes the pressure of the wind less than the old design car.
And now, for the part of the color. I choose metallic or silver like the color of the most of futuristic car. I did a research, why it has to be metallic silver?? I found the answer, the color of silver is associated with meanings of industrial, sleek, high-tech, and modern, as well as ornate, glamorous, graceful, sophisticated, and elegant. And the word that I focused the most is high-tech word.
It has the same vision as mine, I mean that is what I need. Because I have choose my theme as futuristic font and that is what I need. High-tech color, that is the reason why I chose silver color.
For the shape of my font, first i made circular shape or oval shape piece by piece and then I arrange all of those shape to make an alphabet as I want. After that I gave them color from gradient tool white to silver and ta daaa, it is done.
Now i want to describe about my design poster that i was thinking about, I don’t know if this was a good idea or not. Maybe later I will change my mind for the design or maybe not. This is still a sketch idea.
I want to make just like a poster quote something like that, which is wrote “ the future of the new high-tech “ and maybe I will add some word with another font that existed that wrote “ it begins “.
And for the background maybe I will make it like plain background with some bubbles of my font to make it more syncs with my appearance of the font.
For the color of the font maybe I will give chrome color to make it more like shiny similar like silver metallic. And for the background color I am still confuse about it, I am still thinking what color that matches the metallic silver or chrome, but I thought I will give it red color or soft blue color. I have not try it yet, I will try it later and maybe I will change my mind or my concept of the color.
Oh yeah, for the composition of the text. I want to make it not as plain as it were, I will set the text in the middle of the poster and make it more tilted from the left to the right. It is 20 degrees of tilted.
Maybe, that’s all of my concept. Thank you.
