OUGD403 - Alphabet Soup : Visual Thinking - Studio Brief

Brief

Produce a set, series or sequence of ten letterforms that explore and communicate your interpretation of the word that you have selected from the randomiser.

Using your newfound appreciation of the anatomy of typographic forms and the wealth of research that you have already gathered, focus on the manipulation of existing in order to solve this problem.

*Must be hand rendered* *Black and white only*

Background/ Considerations

THINK VISUALLY. Consider what the visual essence of your subject matter is and how best to communicate this. What are the obvious responses? How can you go beyond these? How subtle can you be? Do your ideas operate as a set, series or sequence?

The following terms may prove useful:
Trace, erase, layer, combine, outline, silhouette and surface.

Consider the most effective and controlled use of media appropriate to your subject matter. EXPERIMENT with a range of possible line qualities, marks, colour and paper types. How will you colour help with the communication? What paper stocks can you work with? Do you need to draw, photocopy, photograph, collage, trace or combine all these processes? 

Mandatory Requirements

Each image should contain only one letterform but the set should demonstrate a range of possible solutions. Each resolved letterform should be supported by a broad range of visual investigation in the form of design sheets and notebooks.

Deliverables

Ten 10cm x 10cm resolutions each representing a well crafted and clearly presented typographic form.

Studio Deadline : 5th October 2012
