Project 2: Promising Type

All students are required to produce a series of designs for the front and back covers of the four provided types of sketch-books. You are to use text and no images and the design must reflect a promise that sketchbook if offering to a consumer you have identified.

Martin carri uses typography to create designs.

I’m using him as inspiration for sketchbook 3, which i’ve identified a consumer to be a designer, hence why I am looking into the composition of the typography.

Promise, and layout of sketchbook 3

Promise, and layout of sketchbook 3, that I sent as an outline to be lazer cut into mdf. Originally when I took the outline to get it cut I had forgotten to put the lines into the letters A, O, E & J  so the middle was detached and it was difficult to make out what the letter was. I had to re-design the text and have the piece re-cut.

I have identified a writer to be the consumer and so I have decided to use a collage technique, using existing forms of writing to create my piece.

Experiments

Drawn from collage experiments, I then scanned it in and created an outline so that an mdf version cut be lazer cut.
