These pieces of work were done for a typographgic quotes project at college, the brief stated that we had to create two A2 pieces of work on famous quotes, one art based quote and one general life quote.
The top piece was done on photoshop, I put the text on first then put the dots on individually, after putting all the dots on I deleted the type with the parts of the dots behind it. My inspiration for this one came from a piece of work I saw at college, the piece had been done by hand, but I thought that a digital piece would give it a more proffesional look.
The second piece was purely hand made, I did and experiment with embossing paper with type, the turned out okay but the it was quite hard to read overall, I then thought about putting ink onto my hand cut letter and creating a make-shift letter press in the print room, i chose the red and blue because, the quote had a british theme so I thought of red, white and blue, if I could go back and try again I would arrange the colours to look more like the Union Jack flag.I also think that because my letters were hand cut and not all straight, it adds a little character to the piece and is not a clean cut as my other.
Overall I am very pleased with my final outcomes and they are worthy of going in my portfolio.
