This project focused on teaching us typography. We all chose a word we wanted to focus on for this half of the project, and then began manipulating it first out of paper letters and then on the computer. Each collage we designed had to express some meaning of the chosen word. We took our top three designs and put them in color. After several rounds of testing color schemes and printing to ensure color accuracy, our final piece was three black and white collages and six colored collages that all measure 6”x6” and mounted on 10”x10” black mat board.
This project was an interesting experience. I’ve never had to play with typography before, especially in this manner. The paper collages weren’t easy, nor were the last five or so collages on the computer. But it was a good kind of challenge, and it really forced me to see what I could come up with. It was fun playing with color. I loved the lecture Margie gave. Color theory is one of my favorite things to study. However it did get difficult when trying to put all six collages into a cohesive set that made sense with my word, then even harder when getting them to print correctly. But overall, i found the assignment to be a really good learning experience.
These are my final six collages:
