Typography Art



With the task, we were told to incorporate the knowlege that we have on the word that we picked. My word was was 'Line'. Therefore i had to research on what line was based on and what it related to with a design that would come. And with the reseach i made, these are the following meanings that i got.




After finding out the meanings of the words, we were told to see how these words can relate with images/pitcures so that we can have an idea of how our project would come out. With that in place, these are some of the images that i found that related to some of the words of choice.

Thereafter, we are now to look at our concept on our final piece of art. How we were going to mix it up and come out with a line based project. Five images were told to taken and then form some sort of a book or storyline with a meaning of the images taken.
I was going to do something related with something that i have a passion for and that being, Music. So i had to explore with how i would come up with a design incorporated with music. Hence, these are a few sketch ups that i came up with from. The images taken were :

  • Guy with headsets

  • Speakers

  • Piano

  • Guitar

  • Microphone



Few sketches of the work that i was to do is below here.

My main idea/concept was to show a flow of the music from the top to the bottom. Hence the project having a meaning from the headsets to the mic. With that in place, i started a few projects on ilustrator and with a multiple consults from the teacher my design gradually changed but i still wanted to maintain the same 'music flow' of my work. Here was a few works of how my work changed from the begining to the very end.


First idea that i had and worked on.


Second idea that i did that had more of the flow of music.


Final Piece of Art That I Did.

With the final piece of art, can see that i used alot of the line meanings to have a design, those being line, curves, shape etc. The knowlegde i had helped because i knew already what i wanted to depict from the final piece of work and hence the transformations helped with ideas coming in. Adding text around certain images helped as well and which also gave it that typography feel  to the images and gave it more depth. Here are the transitions of the artworks to the final art.



After all the research and all the concept refining, i was pleased with my final work because i had got more ideas and more understandings with the work and it helped to change a few  ideas to make it have more meaning.

Typefaces With Nature

In this specific task, we were told to explore the happenings that are around us environmentally and from there, form a word or expression with a typeface that fits in that natural element.

Here we had to look at the way typefaces are made for us to understand how we can relate from it all. And with that, this is what i made came up from the typefaces that spoke to me.
