Research and Resources- starter task 5

L

"Light" made from light painting, "Taste" made from editing a loveheart in photoshop, "Sound" made from earphones, "Touch" made from hanging feathers and "Smell" made from chocolate

Research and Resources- starter task 4

Techniques used: Negative space pastel smudging, Fine liner and stencil, continuous line drawing with pencil, pastels smeared by using fingers and using scratched in letters

Research and Resources- starter task 3

Starter activity 3 was to make 5 pieces of typography using different techniques, following the alphabet.

A is for Animated gif

B is for Bright 

C is for Craft work

D is for 3D

E is for Edible

For making a A, I simply took pictures of pieces of string, moving them into the shape of an A.

Making B, I tried to make light typography, however I didn't have the right shutter speed on my camera, so I just bent fairy lights into the shape of a B.

Making C was harder as I didn't have access to a sowing machine, so I hand stitched this C, which took 3 days. I first stitched the outline using white thread, then I filled it with green thread.

The D was my favourite to make as it was making a 3D paper net, which worked very well.

The E was supposed to be cut out, however the icing did not set, so I had to cover the cake with alphabet shapes.

My Exam Brief

THE TYPOGRAPHY BRIEF

• Why have you selected this brief?

I enjoyed the beginning of the year starter project about typography and I wanted to expand my knowledge of typography. I wanted to create something different at the better standard than my previous Typography outcome.

• What are you planning to look at for primary/secondary research?

I want to look at 3D typography as I have an opportunity to this time. The artists I have been looking at the most are Zim&Zou, who mostly do 3D images and designs, and they have inspired me to do the same with typography.

• Which artists/designers will you be looking at (you must select a minimum of 3 from the brief)

I have decided to look at Zim&Zou, Yulia Brodskaya and Debbie Smyth as they all do intricate and slightly 3D designs.

• What materials/techniques would you like to experiment with? 

I would like to use different coloured threads or card to make intricate 3D designs. I'd like to experiment making the sort of designs Zim&Zou make whilst looking at the the work of Debbie Smyth.

• Which outcome(s) are you planning to make?

I would like to try making a gif as I am trying to make my work look more 3D, which would be hard to show on a poster.
