Assignment 2
So this assignment we are supposed to take a font and use the letters of our name to create a replica of the letter exactly in/out of different objects. So the font that I chose was Eurostyle Bold, it has a clean lined look to it & no serifs. After picking the font we needed different ideas and to take photos of those ideas in place. So the different ideas I had for the letters were..
K- Matches, a large letter with matches for the actual letter all jumbled on the "line" or stroke of the letter. With the match box placed off to the side slightly spilling out.
a- Beads/beaded necklace, using the beads or a beaded necklace create the outline of the a from a short distance from more necklaces or beads, shoot photo at an interesting angle
i- Batteries, take a pack of batteries and use the batteries in one line to create the i. Take photo at an angle.
t- Crayons, using the crayons place them to where the point is facing towards the ceiling, place one crayon at a time to create the look of the t (you could place a rubber band at the bottom of the first couple to create a "wall" to have the other crayons lean against as long as you cant see the rubber band). Place these on a coloring page halfway colored with the coloring book shown in the picture as off to the side or below the coloring page the crayons are on.
l- Post-it notes, use the post-it notes to create an l shape and place them on a notebook with books all around like being interrupted at studying.
i- Carmel candies, use the candies still in their wrappers and create an i on a band or concert t-shirt
n- Paint, using paint to create the letter place some used paint brushes and other props nearby.
S- Colored pencils/shavings of colored pencils, cut out the inside of a letter S, use colored pencils and a handheld pencil sharpener, sharpen the colored pencils and put them on the cut out part. When all is covered, pull up the letter very carefully and the shavings should be put into the shape of the letter S. Take a picture with all the pencils you sharpened in the photo, lined up at the edge with the sharp points pointing at the letter. Take photo at an angle.
w- Glue, cut out the interior part of the letter w, place the outline on a smooth surface to where it won't stick, or on wax paper and put the glue inside the space you cut out. Let it dry (you might want to set it under a light or blow dry the letter to make this a faster process) when dry peal up the letter and cut it away from the paper you used as a stencil then place the letter on a cute picture of a dog. Take a photo, play with the way the letter is positioned on the page to create an interesting photo.
e- Toast, using a piece of lightly toasted bread cut out an e in the middle, place the toast outline on top of other pieces of bread on a plate next to some peanut butter (or regular butter). Take photo.
i- Straw(drinking straw), use a clear drinking straw and very carefully cut the letter out of the side of the straw, only one side though! Then take a picture with the straw in front of a light.
t- Confetti, cut out letter and using the confetti (either bought or homemade) make an outline of the letter leaving the inside of the letter to be blank (negative space) place the confetti thickly around the edges of the letter & the further you get away from the edge start to lesson the amount/the thickness of the confetti leaving spaces in between the confetti, looking like it spilled & then the letter is just taken away from the middle. Take photo.
z- Duct Tape, using tape make the letter z look like it is holding something that has broken apart & the tape is the only thing left holding it together. Take picture.
e- Floating object, using an object that floats cut out an e & put it floating in the bath tub or sink. Take photo.
r-Wax, in either a candle or a wax warmer (has a light bulb) trace the letter r on the surface of the wax, use a metal paper clip and shave away the interior of the letter in the wax. the surface will probably be rough so use a match or a lighter and melt away the rough parts of the letter, take the picture in an interesting way, with either the wax warmer on or the candle lit.
K- Matches, a large letter with matches for the actual letter all jumbled on the "line" or stroke of the letter. With the match box placed off to the side slightly spilling out.
