Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: Further Development
Once I had picked the idea i wanted to be my final piece i had to develop it further.
1. I wanted a retro style background so i chose to experiment using stripes of different colours and thicknesses. I decided to used the same colours as the colours of the space invaders characters.
2.Since my design is retro games/space invaders/pacman i decided to make a space related background.
3. I used the same idea as my initial poster background idea but copied the space invaders right across and doubled up each row to fill up the whole background.
Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: Development
1. I researched more Si Scott images and decided i should spend a lot more time on adding detail and to focus on one point that the lines are drawn from to make it look like the swirls are growing out from the word.
2. I changed the the previous quote from 'power' to 'its never game over' as the style of writing reminded me of one you would see on a computer game. I also did some research on old games and added space invaders and pacman to my design.
3. I researched more Rob Ryan images and realised that his style of work is more literal so i decided to change the surrounding patterns to leaves and added the world in the centre.
Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: Heebok Lee
I used Adobe Illustrator to create words & phrases that relate to my theme in the style of Heebok Lee. I could add/change effects, size, transparency and use lots of other tools to give a sense of movement.
I used charcoal to create words that relate to my posters theme in the style of Heebok Lee by rubbing/smudging them to get a sense of movement. I also added colour into two of the words to get an even better effect.
Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: 3D Type
My space alphabet
I used various different metal, silver objects and lights to create the alphabet in a space theme.
Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: Food Fonts
These are my Ed Ruscha inspired food fonts.
To create the word 'sweet' I used Fruitellas which I shaped into each letter. For the word 'bread' i used flour to draw the letters in using my fingers.
Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: Oscar Wilson- Calligram
This is my Oscar Wilson inspired calligram.
For my idea i got given a mug to draw which i then filled with words related to it. I then traced my work and scanned it into the computer. I used Adobe Illustrator to Live Trace my work so i could then edit the fill and line colours on the computer.
Unit 1, Typography Poster Project: Rob Ryan Stencil
How I made them:
In the dark room i had to arrange my stencil onto a plain piece of photo paper underneath the enlarger before exposing it to light for 3 seconds.
Next I had to put my print into the developer for 1 minute, the stop bath for 1 minute, the fixer for 2 minutes then finally wash it in clean water and put it in the print dryer.
