Alphabet Soup 1

Alphabet Soup Task 1

To start my thought process off i decided to create a spider diagram to get all my thoughts dwn and decided what i wanted to do next to develop onto my next stage of design.

I dont know why my spider diagram is loading onto here upside down as on my laptop it is facing the right way. From here I can research into individual things into more indepth research and develop along the way. 

My further research is on the Design Context Blog which it will show you how i have come to my finalising my media and stock i will use and how i am going to portray my idea of Glow.

This is my development in book work i didnt really develop each indiviual letter too much due to the need of 10 different example of 10 letters. Here you can see what each letter is representing and how I think I am going to achieve it as to drawing with pencil and blending with chalk is a different practice.

I decided to use the copper black font as my starter base and i added slight changes. Which i then traced onto layout paper and then cut them out of black 10x10 piece of card for my letter style either using the cutout itself to blend outwards or the 10x10 piece with the cutout on to blending inwards.

I decided to use black card and white chalk as my media and stock due to the materials showing the most glowing effect, but i also tried out charcoal with white card which wasnt effective as shown below.

Here are my Final 10:

A

B

C

D

E

F

G

H

I

J

Overall, I was quite happy with the different ideas i came up with although they look quite simular, they all have a different meaning and come from a word i found when i research the word GLOW. I think the letter E and the B was the most successful and then the letter F was the least due to the resemblance of a lightbulb.
