My Week in Visual Communication

I have taken a fancy to many of the artists I have been introduced to this week, I'm not going to lie, it is a novelty...maybe I've just been looking in the wrong direction. Particularly Jonny Hannah and Paul Thurlby's hand rendered type and lettering.

I also liked Saul Bass's poster designs, even more so because I'm a bit of a Hitchcock fan!

More amusing than inspiring, I especially liked Tim Yarzhombek's 'Beard Alphabet'.

I am keen to further my experience in both graphic design and in animation - I have past experience in graphics and first started animating using my first digital camera, Windows Movie Maker and Legos...how times have changed.

Hand Drawn Typography Quadriptych

Simple ground applied to cartridge paper made from white emulsion mixed with brown and pink inks. Applied first with a sponge then overlaid using a stippling brush.

Then whilst looking at various packaging and household items hand drawn typography was added in various media, including oil pastels - 'Tonic Water', felt pen - 'Fentimans Est. 1905' graphite - '454g' and ink - 'Orange'.
