Typographic project looking at the use of type without using a computer. Based around Stefan Sagmeister’s ‘Things I have learned’ book and work, the idea for the project was to photograph handmade typography in an environment. For my text I chose to use the opening two lines of William Blake’s ‘The Tyger’, which I photographed and recorded over the space of four images. The materials that I used to make up the text ranged from string to pieces of wood.
Book cover design for the teenage classic ‘The Outsiders’, aimed at bringing the book to a new generation of reader. My response is based almost entirely as a hand drawn approach. For the cover I focused on the themes of death and innocence through the portrayal of crows and a jumbled up typeface, and I also tried to make the cover look aged through staining the background.
Workshop working in pairs to create a screen printed poster for Glam Racket club night. For our poster we chose to use solely hand drawn typography, with a variety of different coloured card. Due to the fact that the posters are advertising a pub night, we decided to go for a chalk board look, which has been effectively replicated by screen printing. We felt that the black card with fluorescent coloured type posters were the most successful.
