Background:
In this assignment, I will communicate meaning with type. To do this I will choose a word or a sentence from a supplied list. I will investigate how to create, manipulate, and form type to communicate the meaning of the words I have chosen using only letter forms and without supporting imagery.
Approach:
I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone by exploring different physical mediums. I learned a lot of new techniques and skills from this process. The reward is not the result but the process of exploring new things. Sometimes I found that allowing for accidents to occur is a part of experimentation. It may turn out better than I thought.
