Studio Brief 1, Alphabet Soup, Crit

Need to think about different production techniques.

  • What stock I will use
  • Emboss or deboss
  • Use a stencil of the letter put it over a camera lens to capture a letter in a odd angle, changing the aperture of the lens
  • Make the letters look like they're moving off the page
  • Try filling them in
  • Stream idea, changing the direction of the stroke
  • Join the S like it's been captured with a rope
  • Negative copy

FURTHER DESIGNS AFTER CRIT

10.

Here i've changed the angle of the Q to represent photography, I wanted to make sure you can still understand what letter it is, I'm not sure about that this one. I think the shape is a bit lost but I may fill it in to create more of a bolder look.


11.

This is the first letter I've done and filled it in, normally I don't like thick and bold type, but I think because i've closed the aperture, as if it'd been captured, it suits it being filled in to create of a clearer typeface.


12.

I've taken the brackets off the capital G to create a sans serif because I wanted it to look quite simple, this letter is about the negative and positive exposure in photography, which I find quite a complicated process. 


13.

I wanted to play around with the letter L because I could see how extending the brackets up would create the idea of space being captured. Unfortunately, I think it looks really bad and not even like an L.


14.

I've created a gap between the neck of the g to create an aperture to show a catch and movement. I blocked it in to make it clearer and quite like this manipulation.


15. 

One of the other meanings for capture is when a river bed changes the route of the river, so I tried this with a K and Y and think it's quite interesting, I think i'll carry this on for one the final variations.
