A bit about the Idea

I want to show the history of the Glagolitic alphabet and inorder to do that I am exploring it myself. I am using any sources I find:online or printed. For example: books, articles, studies, history school booksetc.). Also the visual content will not look exactly like the images that inspireme. I will create letters based on hand drawn letters from pages that belong toEvangeliarum Assemani. As I have only few letters I am going tocreate entire alphabet or at least most of the letters inspired by thisdocument.
I wasn’t sure what will be the way ofdisplaying my work but the format of a book seems to suit best to all data Iwant to present. Along with the letters I will create I will present thelanguage used before and after the Glagolitic alphabet. As that alphabet wasused by the Slavic people, who nowadays belong to different countries anddifferent language, I will not be able to cover all of them. Therefore I willhave to stick to what is more familiar and easy to find.

I amuploading some work. As it is in progress it won't be complete. It could look also messy.
The followingimage is what I did after I thought to give up on my first idea about the letters,which it he image after. The morning after I realised, that could be a bigmistake. Currently I am working on both versions.
These are the drawings before makin the digital work.
A-azi (Latin A)
Б-buki (Latin B)
That is my pain. I asume it is В-vedi (Latin V). But recently reading more articles and, presumably, could be one of the letters И (Latin I). I am currently trying to find out the TRUTH.
Г-glagoli (Latin G)
Д-dobro (Latin D)
Few more images will be placed in next few days.
