Coming towards a final piece to show my font

This is going to be my pdf thats going to show off my font, i'm going to print it out A1 and then stick on to foam board and then cut out the white parts around the A to show absence, even my pdf will have its absence. It will then be stuck onto the wall.

A Completely finished letter

Here is a completely finished letter, all ready to put on to its background. One down 11 to go...

Neating up

Here is a close up of my next stage, after spray painting, i've started to cover the sides in the same coloured paper to finish off my letters before i put them together.

All together

This is it put together, and these will be the colours for final, now im hoping to get the background coloured in grey and to add some type to it.

Finished Pieces

This is the letters put together, the paint has stuck on well and has given it a clean finish.

Preping ready for paint

This is just after i finished spraying it looks good, just waiting for it to dry.

I started to lay out my letters ready to spray paint on to them.

Starting to put it together

This is my final pieces put together, its coming along quite well, its given me a realisation on how big it is and how big my quote has to be.

This is a close up shot to show how thick it is and how it will stand out.

The Final Sculptures...Ready for paint

The mother sculpture

The father sculpture

...

This is the four letters stuck together, ready to be sanded down to create neater edges.

...

I then added double sided tape in order to stick on more letters to create some volume.

Here is the cut out.

...

I then outlined it with pencil and started to cut out the letter. I done this for every letter, in total 48 letters.

Here i have placed the cut out over the foam board

Step by Step

I then cut out the letter to give me a shape for me to later transfer to the foamboard

Here is my letter printed on A4 (left) because i coudnt get hold of an A3 one, so i didnt really make a start on my piece for a while, i then thought of enlarging it on the photocopier and then made it A3 (right)

Models

Here is a model i have made thats meant to be rizla, i think that it came out better then i expected and hope the other elements that will go with it to surround the sculpture turn out as well.

Expanding on my idea

My 3D objects are going to be in a similar style to these, but im going to have just a couple.

This is an advert by Blue Zoo, its about product placement, im going to have my sculpture like the P with and have 3D objects around it.

After looking at my initial piece of the mother figure, it didnt really send across the message i wanted to deliver so i introduced the father figure, a man who doesnt care about his wife and child, for e.g his head facing the other way hands together, to explain the message more i want to add 3D elements that sit around them.

After a lot of thinking and experiments...

After experimenting in illustrator with letters i wasnt really getting anywhere, so i decided to just cut them out of card and play with the letter's which i found easier,

Out of the word parent i have created a pregnant woman holding her stomach, she is meant to be sad which is why her heads tilted and she's on her knees.

The colour is blue because blue is the colour of trust, being a single parent she and her baby have trust in one another to help each other out.

Trying to create a Parent shape...

This was a logo i created for folio, the shapes of the look like people, its inspired to make a shape out of my letters, rather than jus a pile of letters.Here i have tried giving it arms n a bit more of a shape,

They need more developing to give it a recognisable shape.

Mother and Father Logo

My Mother and Father logo, the shape is meant to be like a heart and the mother and father are separating but the child which is the tie is holding them together, like how they say its for the kids lol

An idea

A quick sketch to show how it could look, but how do i make it look as if it free standing?

Vault 49

This is how i want to create my letters, i want to use foam board to give them a good size, then paint them and start sticking and adding around my sculpture.

Craig Ward

I like the way he has ink coming of the type, after i create my 3D sculpture i want to add around it to make it more interesting.

Inspiration...

After seeing this Piece it has inspired me to create my own 3D sculpture using my type and use the word parent(s)

Bens experiment

Here Ben has experimented with one of letters, his experiments made me think and have given me ideas for my own sculpture.

Origami anyone?

Another Pdf...

How to display my finished Piece?

These are off Virus Fonts from Barnbrook, he has created PDF's that come with the type, how do i display mine?

My finished Font

This is it

Developing further letters

This is some of my development, i have one for every letter but i think you get the message, after this i started to mac my letters.

Introducing a style

I was still trying out letters when i saw the UCA logo and i really like the type so i used theres as a guideline and started to get my style across such as the bauhaus type, i started to adapt my letter , try different things and see which one worked, once i done that....

I started on my letters and developing them, i done this for every letter.

Making a start

These are my first batch of idea's , i havent introduced my style but started to get a theme of the look of my type.

Style?

I saw this piece on creaticca, and i really like the style, i like the roundness of the shapes which make it look modern,

This is the bauhaus font, i like the roundness and the simplicity of it, also on the shapes such as the B how its not fully joined gives it that separate look im going for.
