Typography sheet
The top piece of typography is taken from the 1920's theme type writing, Iprinted out each letter individually and stuck them onto the sheet, Ithen decided to paint over the letters in 1920's colours and take off the letters Ihad sticked on, this gave me this sharp effet which Ithink worked well.
The second piece is very similiar to the first but Idecided to use different colours over my lettering, I hose the plain black and white look because I knew it would make the letters stand out better with this contrast.
The next one I decided to use more mixed media to present my word, I chose a plain black tie similiar to ones men wore back in the 1920's, I manipulated the tie to spell out the word 'art' and I believe it worked well making it easy to understand what the word is.
The final bottom one I decided to research art deco type faces for numbers, I chose this because I am a big fan of the art deco typography and it would work well with the contrast of the other letters.

Sagmeister

This is one of Sagmeister's piece from the 'take it on' project for SVA, I chose this piece because it stands out and is extremely well worked out getting the octopuses tentacles to spell out take it on, the guy behind the octopus is actually Stefan Sagmeister; I thought this was a great touch to use himself for one of his projects.

 

This is my response to the work of Sagmeister, I chose the idea of getting writing on my body like the music cover for Lou Reed by Sagmeister, however I decided to put my own twist on his piece by using some lyrics from a song I enjoy and is meaningful to me
