Yeah, it&#8217;s not the most witty way to use the letter T for a drop cap but the sentence really does describe this post. I really wanted to make a drop cap today but couldn&#8217;t remember which letter I was on. So, I let my roommate, Tony, decide my blog&#8217;s fate. I asked him what was his favorite letter was and he said the letter T. His lame reason was because his name starts with the letter T. I wonder if a lot of people&#8217;s favorite letter is their initial.<\/p>\n<p>As for the style of the drop cap, I knew what I was going for no matter what Tony had picked. I read the article, <em>Typed<\/em>, by Dr. Shelley Gruendler from the July 2011 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howdesign.com\/magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\">How Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and was inspired by the\u00a0turquoise\u00a0clockwork lines scattered through its pages. It reminded me of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danheller.com\/Movies\/Hellboy\/Slideshow\/img4.html\" target=\"_blank\">weird robot guy<\/a> from Hellboy and the antique pocket watch I got from my girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>The steam punk gears and tinkerings make me so happy. The brass doodads and thingamajigs are so beautifully and randomly placed to make works of art. I just had to try and make my own letter out of the style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-561\" title=\"T Drop cap\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Untitled-1.gif\" alt=\"mechanical letter T\" width=\"580\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Untitled-1.gif 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Untitled-1-300x206.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After reading an article, I was inspired to make a steam punk drop cap.
