Not so long ago we had a special typographer come in from Poland (and I can't for the love of god remember her name! I'm embarrassed as she was so lovely and helpful). We were told to do a few tasks during the day. We had a limited amount of time to draw the first thing that came into our head when she said a word, for example, one was 'Stop' and I drew a traffic light. Another was 'Love' and I drew a heart with type in it. After that we were told we'd have to come up with a type face. So i made this wonderful typeface using a pattern i'd found in my paper collection. The letters were all uppercase and quickly cut out. After that we were old this was going to be the type face for an album cover that we were going to make, I actually jumped at the thought of doing that - i LOVE making album covers, they're fun, easy, and open - and you get to indulge yourself in great music... so I decided to do Ed Sheeran as I looove his music so much. I worked with black & white collage, pattern to create an album to my favourite song of his called 'A Team'. It had not been released long ago. I didn't use the song title on the cover but I used the first words he used in that song saying 'White lips, pale face' and if i'd have had more time I'd honestly have written the whole song. It's beautiful.
My final work is really one of my favourite things i've made this year, or ever actually. I'm surprised what I could do in so little time...
First attempt
My Final, it looks so good against the wood, it was supposed to be part of the album cover. The Typographer was very helpful, I don't think i'd have done something so impressive without her help.
Thank you!
