This is one of my concepts for an idea i came up with to replicate frequency using text, the image is based on the introduction of who malcolm garret is. As i read the introduction i drew a line correspondent to its number, so for ‘malcolm’ the first line is 13mm long, as its 13th in the alphabet, and so on

Artist research - influence

Thought id give Sam Winston a little mention as i have based my front cover around his idea of circles, and recording a frequency in something, even though he used death as his statistic and I created a system via a body of text.

Today we were taught how to make a Type-spec sheet, we were told to come up with a design for a short story, and in theory let someone who had never seen it before, be able to recreate what we designed.

Irony

Pop Culture Characters Get Into Ironic Situations Too

http://asiancorrespondent.com/80331/pop-culture-characters-get-into-ironic-situations-too/

Going on now till April 28 at Gallery 1988: Melrose is a fun show called “Just Like Us” that shows new work by artist Mike Mitchell. Taking some of the most loved pop culture characters of our time like Disney’s Dumbo, Marvel’s Magneto and Sesame Street’s Burt and Ernie, Mitchell puts his own unique spin on them, often showing some pretty ironic situations.

Just some of Malcolm’s work, I’m happy we don’t have to copy their style, as I can’t wait to play around with progression, and languages I don’t understand.

So as progression and German type are my chosen characteristics, I though I’d look at the layouts of some magazines, this one really caught my eye, It’s very type intensive yet still manages to look calm and cool. Maybe I can use a layout like this?
