I was quite exited about this project as I havent really tryed hard to explore the boundries of typography. Even on the foundation course I did I somehow managed to avoid studying it. This project I found more than the other let me be more spontanious and exploratory with the idea of type and letter form. As I was going back home during mid week for a religious festival, I new I wouldn't be able to get as much as I could done at home so I started thinking about it before I left. Could i be creative and think 'outside' the box. maybe create some sort of object symbalism which you would naturally think of when you think of layer for example a cake or high story building.
Then I started thinking on the lines of the actual image and the context of the letter oppose to the imagery. I also wanted to explore the idea of using negatives. I then started creating simple lettering and intensially makeing the background layered and interesting. This was effective but only to the extent of knowing what to do as a image on a page. As far as the brief goes I feel the idea I had began to expore with the background being stronger doesnt work as its the actual lettering we need to make the words or phrases that I suppose we are eventually going to use in class.
As far as my work went this week it definetly wasnt my best. But the course says we need to learn from mistakes, which is what im going to do. This experience has tought me to think and brainstorm my ideas more and then actually following then through shouldnt be that hard.
