Project 5: Idioms

I decided to start putting things together on photoshop, ready for my final outcomes. This first experiment was using the layout of a letter game (scrabble) for my text. I stuck to the idea of suing different fonts, to make it more fun.

I then added the text over a gound i previously made. I think the piece looks a little bit too solid and flat.

This experiment consits of the same background as above but i scanned in my own hand-rendered type. To layer them together i experimented using the gradient tool. I find this tool really effective as it made the piece not look as 'flat' as the previous.

This experiment seems too dark and makes the words more difficult to read.

Project 5: Idioms

I carried on my project by working experimentally. I found this poster design by Rudy VenderLans and James Towning in a typography book. I initially noticed it for the layout, which i thought i could work from. I used my saying 'two can play at that game' and create my own version using different elements from the poster. I thought it would be a good idea for me to stick to the idea of using a square (changed from the circle) as this is the shape i had been referring to this saying. I also hand-drawn the font as similarly as i could.

I found this piece of work in the same book, it was designed by the Why Not Associates. What i noticed about it was the shapes of the letters and how they had been cleverly joined together. I worked in a similar way by writing my phrase 'stuck in a rut' and linked the 'uck' together, where i then wrote the 'in a rut' part of the phrase in the C, as if it was stuck itself. I experimented with different ways of writing it.

photoshop edits of photos drawings

Looking Up Looking Down

Project 6: Looking up Looking down

These are all my drawings and photographs which i have edited on Photoshop. I stuck to the colour palette of black and white and a neutral brown/red colour. Mixed in together i thinke they will compliment eachother really well. Some photos i have done more than one edit on but i will only use one for my final booklet.
