Typography

We're on the penultimate week of the 2D Light project and I have a small back log of work to publish here from various subjects; photography, printmaking, life drawing, painting and typography. Today I'm showing you the progress I've made in my typography class!

Light cutout over lens and over light box.

Other people in my class decided to use other words related to the theme because they decided 'Light' was too boring. That's fair enough, but I'm not really bothered about the words, just the techniques which can be applied to other forms of media. My experimentation with cutouts, projection and shadows can be used in photography, fine art, sculpture, textiles or whatever you can think of.

This sequence of photos represent my interest in type rather well.. heh.

Here I explored the capabilites of offcut pieces of card, first I made a word using them but quicky became more interested in the more abstract arrangements. They remind me of an artist but I can't remeber their name so that's no use.
I am interested in typography and have used it in album artwork and acknowledge it's importance but I feel the class at college could do with a wider, more graphics or visual communication approach.

From top down: Light, Light and Light.

I really enjoy projection (if you hadn't noticed already), I see a lot of potential for projection in my own work. I'd like to project something onto a band and make live visuals or a music video. So I've been making the most of the opportunities in college to experiment with it!
I was vcery excited to discover that we have the facilities to print onto acetate used for projection. I'll be putting pictures of that up here next week, I hope you're looking forward to that. Be excited!
