Typography Stencil

 

 The aim of this small typography project was to explore how the fill of typography can influence its appearance and the effect it has.

 

This is the stencil I made for my typography project. I printed out the typography, and stuck it onto a piece of black board with blue tack so I would be able to remove it. I then cut it out with a craft knife. I chose this saying as I am proving it through this experiment; as you may not be able to tell exactly what the background is through the typography. I also decided to arrange the text in the shape of an eye to make it appropriate and visually interesting, as you are seeing things through this eye that may deceive you.

This is the final product. I then placed this in front of interesting scenes, objects and textures around the house (keeping to my chosen theme of 'home') and took photos of it.





Here are some of my photo's, before editing...

I feel this worked well as the different fills give very different effects to the text, creating different styles and moods, communicating different messages. This is why the fill of typography is an important aspect to consider when creating your own to fit a purpose.
