We was told in last weeks session to collect boxes.They could be different sizes but they should be no bigger than a shoe box.
I came home and looked for boxes.And came to conclusion that:I have no boxes.
So I asked mates and flatmates for any spare boxes and collected about 3-4.This ranged from a small popcorn box and a pizza box.In this weeks session we all brought in our boxes and was told we had to use these boxes and black card to form a letter.We were working with perspective and we were given a view finder to get the right perspective.As a group we all decided that the letter "a" in helvetica would be challenging and fun to do.
As soon as I heard what we had to do I thought of Daniel Tobin Smith; a photographer who works with perspective (Below)
This seemed very similar to what we were doing.
This is what the result looked like from an angle.As you can see.Because of the way the contours of the boxes are being photographed the letter looks distorted.
But look at it from the viewfinder and you can make out the letter.This was a interesting activity because we was working with 3dtype instead of type printed on a 2d surface like we are used to.So it was very different.
