Experimental Typography

Throughout this lesson we had to experiment different typography with different foods. Whilst thinking of a word/phrase to spell out with the food, we had to think of a word/phrase that had some sort of relation to the food we were using. For example: when using salt, we wrote the phrase 'Uh-Oh!' as a response to the common phrase: 'You get bad luck if you spill salt'.



This is the first experiment that my group did using plain dry rice. We used our fingers carefully shaping the same font with each letter allowing the word to look simple but fun. We chose to write the word pudding because it relates to the food Rice Pudding. The image we created shows a play on words using an object; the actual rice represents the rice in the pudding.

This is the second experiment that we did which I found the easiest. This is because Alphabetti Spaghetti reminded us all of our childhood, and how we used to play with the food and spell out words. From those thoughts we decided to create a phrase that basically sums up fun of Alphabetti Spaghetti.
 





This is the third experiment that we did using beans. This word simply relates to the well known phrase 'the more you eat the more you fart'. We added the squiggly at the bottom and either side of the word to create imagery of the word.     

This is the fourth experiment that we did using Penne pasta. We aslo found this quite easy to do because we just thought about where the food originates from; Italy. To make it seem interesting we decided to spell 'Italy' in Italian, rather than in English like the rest of our experiments.We wrote it in this font because it resembles the 'extravagant' that belong to culture of italy.

This is the fitth experiment we did using spaghetti. We decided to write the word 'Carbs' because it simply tells you what spaghetti is. Due to the fact that we used a really blunt word, we decided to write the word in the same way.

This is the fith experiment that we did which is one of my favourites. This is because its the lyrics of a song and relates to the actual substance that we used; sugar.

                                   

This is the sixth experiment that we did which is ultimately my favourite. This because its quite conceptual; the phrase relates to another phrase which is 'You get bad luck if you spill salt', and the thought cloud represents peoples thoughts after spilling the salt. 

This is the seventh and last experiment that we did using ketchup. It was quite easy for us to think of this phrase as we remebered one of Burger Kings phrases which is; 'Have It Your Way' which involves tomato ketchup.
