Typography Workshop

First week back after our Easter break and we were given a typographic brief with 2 parts. I was given the letter 'y' ; lower case in Goudy old Style font. For the first part of the brief we had to explore the letter within a 9x9cm square using black markers. We had to explore positive and negative spaces, diagonal shaping, rotating the letters etc.


Sample Swatches:



Finished 12 swatches:

The 2nd part of the brief was to work on A4 format with our letters, manipulating them, distorting them playing with shape and line. Initially i began working with cutting out the letter shape and photocopying, trying out different compositions etc.














^^ Some experimental photocopying.
