Genealogy Seminar

-
The main focus for today's seminar was relating to our essays and gathering different ideas from each other in groups. 

 In groups we discussed our ideas and re-annotated, amended and added to the original ideas that everyone had - this is an important part of beginning an essay to find out others' ideas and potentially different options that will allow you to produce a better piece of writing. 

 I found this seminar very helpful in that it allowed me to explore different ideas and finalise my choices in both Theory and the Studio brief.

Bread Typography

I was looking forward to this workshop but unfortunately had to miss it!  However, using notes and inspiration from Nick's instagram I have completed the workshop in my own time. I chose to keep the letters quite large and visible and used alternative textures for each letter by keeping some as bread and others were toasted.  I used ten different coloured pieces of paper for the backgrounds of each letter, so for the letter 'A' it shows the ten different colours in one GIF, I did this for each letter and this resulted in what would've been a minute long GIF, which isn't really the idea of them.  So I chose alternative coloured backgrounds to create the alphabet GIF.
