THE BRIEF - ALPHABET SOUP
“Produce a set, series or sequence of ten letterforms, which explore and communicate your interpretation of the word that you have selected from the randomiser. You should use the typeface you selected from Vignellis six basic typefaces within Study Task 1 as a starting point for your manipulations.
Using your newfound appreciation of the anatomy of typographic forms and the wealth of research that you have already gathered, focus on the manipulation of existing letterforms in order to solve this problem.”
Considerations
Think visually. Consider what the visual essence of your subject matter is and how best to communicate this. What are the obvious responses? How can you beyond these? How subtle can you be? Do your ideas operate as a set, series or sequence? The following terms may prove useful:
Trace, erase, layer, combine, outline, silhouette, and surface.
Consider the most effective and controlled use of media appropriate to your subject matter. EXPERIMENT with a range of possible line qualities, marks, colour and paper Types. How will colour help with the communication? What paper stocks can you work with? Do you need to draw, photocopy, photograph, collage, trace or combine all of these processes?
Requirements
Each image should contain only one letterform however the set should demonstrate a range of possible solutions. Each resolved letterforms should be supported by a broad range of visual investigation in the form of design sheets and notebooks. This should all be documented on your blog.
Deliverables
Produce ten physical resolved solutions in 10cm x 10cm format. Each should represent a well crafted and clearly presented typographic form.
My Brief Analysis
To create and design ten letterforms that express humour they should be presented neatly onto A3 sheets, To respond to feedback and constructive criticism to improve.
