Ballers Delight (Chank)

Ballers Delight by HOW Fontmaking Workshoppers.
Ballers Delight is an exciting new picture font that was created by participants of Chank's "Gloss-n-Floss" fontmaking workshop at the HOW Design Conference in Atlanta on June 10, 2007. Fifty workshop participants spent an afternoon creating these exciting new bejewelled letters for you.
Each individual letter was constructed out of beads and gems on small canvas boards measuring 5"x7". Letters were then photographed and the resulting pics were used for making a thuggish new grunge font with a big hip-hop influence.
This freefont is supplied to you today in 2 formats: new OpenType for typing on your computer, and separately as a collection of JPGs that require a bit more work to use. Copy and paste the JPGs in PhotoShop created your own full-color headlines. Adjust the hue and brightness as you see fit. Have fun with it, because we had a lot of fun creating it for you!
