Typography Project.

For this project we needed to produce a quote "it doesn't get easier, you just get better". Lola and I teamed up and had the two words 'Get, Get'. The main elements in which we needed to incorporate were:

• 3D elements 
• Train tickets
• Photography

For this we decided to get an instant camera and take photographs around college and bath, showing the life of a bath college student, and manipulate them around the cardboard we had cut out. We decided to cut the letters out on cardboard before sticking the train tickets directly onto the boards in order to make the 3D element more intense.

 Once we had done this, we moved onto the train tickets, gain we decided to manipulate them and wrap them around the cardboard to give a nice 3d effect. We used lots of individual tickets and layered them on top of one another, this helped the effect and made it look more 'DIY' rather than perfect.

 Strengths

- Creating and getting the photographs.

- Manipulating the lettering to make it 3D and visible.

Weaknesses

- Measuring / sizing to fit the board correctly.

- Consistency / individuality, all the letters ended up being either photographs or train tickets, however we initially planned having every letter to be individual.

Opportunities 

- Materials

- Creativity

- Support

Threats

- Time

- Illness

- Neatness of cardboard cutting!

 Over all I think the three things we did well in this was creating the individual letters and getting the photographs for them. We wanted to make it individual, yet unique to college and college life in the city, and I think it represents our ideas and portrays them very well. Our creativeness with the film that also came with the disposables also came in handy as we were able to wrap them round one of the letters to again make it more individual and unique. Lastly I think we did well at timescale. I missed one lesson due to illness and we also had difficulty cutting out the 'G' in particular on cardboard as the crevasses were difficult to cut on such thick card. 

   I think that the 3 things we could improve for next time would be the execution of it. Again with the cardboard there is most likely a better and more effective way of producing this to make it more 'flush'. Next I think sizing is something we could think about. I initially roughly sized up the letters to ensure we filled the board and didn't make them too big or too small, however when we involved the cardboard I soon came to the realisation that we had in fact gone over the board ever so slightly, so therefore next time I can ensure we measure exactly and just be a bit more precise. Lastly I think that we could have improved the individuality of the letters, doing this by making every letter unique and different in some type of way, this would add more interest and make it also stick out a bit more!
