Experimentation; Words (Group Work)

Hammering the material onto the board with pins

Hammering pins onto board

Almost finished outcome with paint, ink, pins, nails, materials and thread

This typography experiment was done as a group. We decided make our own typography using the words of the exam theme: Covert and Obscure. We used a range of materials creating different textures and a variety of colours; we used coloured thread to wrap around the pins and needles we hammered around the edges of each letter; coloured ink and paint to splash and doodle on the board, lastly we used material from different clothing to stick on some letters. We tried to create a 2D effect using the paint and pencils to write the letters, aswell as a 3D effect using thread and pins. I think that adding a range of aesthetics to the typography makes it more appealing to the eye.
