    Digitizing Few Selective Akhars

    The writing practice sheets gave the most balanced written letterforms for each of the 31 akhars explored as an extension to the personality-mapping model; with the aim to evolve display forms from letter shapes practiced (Figures 10 to 19). Following are the beginnings of the first three akhars explored with display features and three-dimensional structural facets (Fig. 19). The main letter colours and the background are a deliberate choice to match the yellow/ old-feel look of the papers in notebooks that represent writing practice and compositions per akhar. These have been digitally executed and rendered for specific textured effects by using iOS app: Tayasui (see selective first phase explorations, Fig. 19).
