Final Outcome

This is my final outcome for the typography project. I edited the alphabet I created and formed a saying with it... home is where the type is (a twist on 'home is where the heart is) as the home is literally where the typography was found.

I focused on finding lower case letters and these look quite casual, friendly, and welcoming, much like most homes are.

 

I am pleased with my outcome as the saying can be read yet you can see these are letters hidden around the home. I feel the colours make it a lot more aesthetically pleasing and draw people in. I chose to use the colour wheel to inspire the coloured filters I put on my photo's, and I used Photoshop to do this. I experimented with the selective colour, brightness, contrast, and saturation tools to achieve effective end products.

 

I presented my work by placing the photos onto white card, cutting them out leaving a border, and then I measured out the space I had and carefully stuck the photos onto black paper so they were all lined up neatly and accurately.

I felt that a centre alignment would work best as I could then make the piece as a whole balanced and harmonious.

 

If I were to do this again, or if I had had more time, I would have used black card for the background to make the work sturdier, and would of thought of a more imaginative way of presenting my work. However I feel the simplicity of the composition and presentation works well here as it keeps the focus on the letters and saying.
