Today we configured the base and background of our piece consisting of a smoke filled background with a rugid, used 18th/19th century feel to it taking inspiration from images found on Google Images & Photographers Direct as well as Stock Exchange and Getty Images.

Our final product is beginning to take shape and looks great. With a lack of time and resources I feel we've produced a quality piece of 3D typography. Instead of creating the bowl/oval shape we originally agree'd upon we're going to go for a pile of nails and bolts glued onto the base to create an illusion of the letter forms rising from the pile. We are also painting the newer nails using acrylic paints and the dry brush technique to create "rust"

YeSSS Finally managed 2 upload the rest of the pics....

Here you can see us creating the word industrial...

Arrrr i cant upload the rest of my images! =(

In todays session we started experimenting with our materials, generating letters to build up our word.

( He could write 4 the world) =D

We decided to create our type using materials such as screws, nails and bolts glued together to form the word ''Industrial''....

This is a brainstorm of some of the ideas that myself and my group had come up with.

We drew brainstorms and produced research consisting of Birmingham's history and its classifiable characteristics.

We managed to come up with 2 ideas, our first thought was to create a type relating to the industrial revolution as it is one of the most important element of Birmingham's history.

For our second idea we chose Economy, reason being we thought that it would link in well with our first idea.

We then starting discussing as a group, which idea we would like to take into action.

The idea that we decided to go ahead with in the end was our first.

Birminghams Type Dna Project

For our graphics project we were asked to explore the history of Birmingham's typographic roots and unveil the beautiful letter forms which can be seen on the streets....
