 Enclosed within a perspex box: Items gathered together of various types, a miscellaneous collection.

Typography in Glacier Mints

My first attempt (the black clay example) slightly discoloured because of the length of time I left it in the oven but the other three were more successful. The last two examples I incorporated yellow acrylic paint and glitter to add another dynamic to the otherwise simple glyph.

Sweetie Typography

My initial idea was to create my typography components out of Glacier Mints melted in the oven, however the outcomes were very fragile and had to have puff pastry round the sides to maintain it's shape whilst in the oven. 

Components

These components are made using plastic and painted clay. There are two others made of rubber floor matting which are white but they did not photograph very well which is why I have not included them in this post.

Final Piece

My final piece is going to be a visual definition of my chosen word; Miscellaneous.

My final piece is going to be 'an array of different items considered together of various types and forms'. This thumbnail is the basic idea of how I would like my final piece to communicate this idea of 'Miscellaneous'.

Designing With Type

I used the stencils in Photoshop to create a 'Title design' which I could use as a basis for all my sectioning pages. For instance my Title page, my Contents page, Part 1, Part 2 etc.

Experimentation

Using my stencils I created patterns with spray paint, again playing with the positive and negative space created by the typography.

Typography Abstraction

From the hand renders of the positive and negative spaces of the type, I abstracted 3 stencils from which I will use as a template for my art works.

My Hand Renders

First I hand rendered the words then I hand rendered the abstractions of the words, working with both positive and negative space.
