A Typographic Moustache Lunch

Over lunch today we were set the task of creating a typographic moustache which we all had to wear during our crit in the afternoon.

Some people created their names, some typographic symmbols and some went all out and created a massive beard.

Here is a photo of a small selection of moustaches - mine is the question marks.

A Piece of Paper

Haven't written here in ages but since i have just started my university course I feel inspired to do so.

Flung in at the deep end, we have already completed a wide range of quick projects helping us to get to know everyone in our group whilst improving our communication and presentation skills.

The first project I photographed was called 'A Piece of Paper'. The brief - to get as many people to interact with a sheet of about A1 paper in about 3 hours.

Our group decided to cut the paper into a long chain and trap as many people as we could. Initially we asked people to step inside the chain but most people were reluctant to do so which resulted in trapping large groups in the uni canteen while eating their lunch and groups outside the Tate Britain.

In total we trapped roughly 65 people.

Exaggerate

This was a one week project where we had to make imagery using exaggeration. I decided to look at what happens if you exaggerate the importance of signs, their meaning or just their size. These are 3 of the final images.

Envirotype 1st response

This was a two week project where we had to find something that we were angry or annoyed about and create a short message that when placed in a particular context would easily convey this message. My first response to this brief was looking at when customers are rude to sales assistants. In order to portray this I changed the language on a receipt, reminding the customers that they do leave a mark.

3D to 2D fonts

Just a couple of images of a two day project where we had to take 3d objects and transform them into 2d letters, creating a new typeface using all of the alphabet. We chose the theme environment and this is what we came up with. The second image is a few names made up out of the letters.

Sculptures

Thought I better kick off this blog sooner rather than later and what a better time to start than today, when I can share some photos I recently took. The project title was 'Sculptures', the idea to create a set of one minute sculptures using objects surrounding you. You could place them out of context or put items together in order to create some rather surreal.

Here are some of the final images
