Bs1 Visit 3 

Today I went down town again. This time I sat down in a cafe and noted down what I could see smell and hear around me within the area. I also went on another pathway of exploring the many different types of walking paths around and I think I now managed to get them all now. I have also managed to get all but 1 letter of the accidental alphabet.

I was in the cafe for about 2hours and I discovered a whole lot that was around me. There was mothers pushing prams up and down the docks, people in the cafe talking about politics and general entertainment news like for example "hey mate do like that new iphone"

                                    "yeah looks brilliant "

                                   "Yeah because I was thinking of getting one"

little conversations like that cropped up a lot during my time in the cafe. 


I still have to look at more artists that use this style. I have an idea of creating a old style type writer font and maybe printing out strips that would be the dialog of the people around and having it dipped in coffee?; its still on the maybe side of my thoughts but literally the clearest idea i have so far. 


In the meanwhile I will draw out a preliminary design of what the outcome might look like. 

alphabet completed

Finally Ive completed my Alphabet

I am very pleased that I finally managed to find all of the letters. It was a very difficult challenge but it has made me view the obvious in a different light. After going back and forth to town I have also realized even more Letters around the city centre. I managed to gradually get better by concentrating.


I was pleased with getting the H as I used the leaves that were scattered around on the ground, I believe at the time I was researching the works of Stefan Sagmiester, like for example the coins he used to make a huge typography piece.


As I have achieved the whole of the alphabet I could arrange thses pictures into a typeface of my own and use it to present my work. However I will continue to research more artists to back it up.

Down town

Today I've managed to take a lot more photos than before and from the last lesson I managed to structure out my approach. I wanted to target the alphabet and I believe thats all of the letters now. The disappointing thing is that the weather was very poor and I couldn't get the rubbings i wanted as it was rain very heavily.
