Over the last few days i have been looking at chairs for the letter chair project and i have now come up with an idea that i would like to explore and that is to create a 'Moulin Rouge' themed chair, using the lyrics as the type. However i need to research a type and a chair that would be suitable for the theme.
Also we today i was able to complete Project 7: Letterpress and we have been given the brief for Project 8: Crop.
Project: Letterpress
Duration: 1 Day
Brief:
Working in the designated group you each need to select one entry from the basic glossary of typographic terms. Each member of the group then needs to get an understanding of that term and produce a design using metal type(s) which is part of your group poster. The poster must include all the definitions that your group selects.
I really enjoyed working on this project, as i really like the aspect of using letterpress, i think it is a personal, handcrafted process. The word i chose for this project was 'Axis'(The real or imaginary straight line on which a letterform rotates.
I drew out a few designs but in the end i decided to go to the design which shows the word Axis, rotated several times in the shape of a square axis.
Overall it was a really interesting process to carry out and i really enjoyed doing it. I also thought our end poster was really good it was fascinating what everyone had created and designed to represent their chosen term.
Project: Crop
Duration: 1 Week
Brief:
Gather all work that you have made over the course of this term.
Select and collate a body of work that will form the pages of a book.
The pages that you produce will form the material to be bound in Book Binding workshops. (The pages should be no bigger than A4)
You need to prepare your book before the workshop.
