TYPOGRAPHY CHECKLIST
COLLAGE
David Carson research (plus other artists who might link?) plus annotation
3 typography collages, using limited colour palettes/type
Annotate your collages -
what are the themes?
How did you limit your choices in this collage?
What works well/needs improving?
These don't have to 'say' anything - it's much more about exploring typography as a visual concept - using the shapes etc.
Visual rather than legible!
DARKROOM
Photogram research (see folder. Can also find your own)
3-4 of your own photogram examples (or more!)
Experiment with some of your photograms -
cut them up and reassemble?
layer them in collages?
crop them to create different compositions?
layer other text (collage/written/on acetate?) onto them?
STUDIO
Research Jaromir Funke (and other photographers you may find)
Your Studio contact sheet
