Typography

This is the 'work' I produced during our typography sessions. Didn't see any real point in tracing letters as we have computers to type in Baskerville and Univers and I didnt learn a thing but at least it was too strenuous for mind or body.



So we drew some letters using charcoal to give us a greater appreciation of different letter forms. I jolly well love the letter 'j' now... not. Then we traced the word railway in two different typefaces to help us get the letter spacing correct - but yet again we now have computers to do this for us.

The next task was actually quite a challenge. We had to write our name to portray a certain voice - below is my mum nagging me. We also had to write a noise made by any type of transport which was also pretty difficult.

Now I totally missed the point of our final task. Cutting out precisely 4x4 squares of newspapers and gluing them together? This is definately a keeper for my non existant type sketchbook.
