Progression Blog on Typography (pt2)

Week one of progression went well, we created visual mood board's to express our concepts for what the re vamp of our previous ideas could look like, as you can see i would work a lot with neon lighting to create a 3D effect and allow the display to be Visually captivating, especially with the quote we have been told to use 'It doesn't get easier, you just get better.'






Week Two was about organising ourselves in our groups to really build upon our ideas, Amy and I really wanted to push forward with the neon lighting idea and suggest it to the rest of the class as our final idea. So far I am really happy with how things about are going, to pitch our idea we proceeded to create another mood board focusing in on our neon light theme. Here is the finished outcome of what we would like our neon lights to look like;




Week Three has been more collaborative based between all the groups within the class, at the beginning of our session we joined together to pitch our ideas to one another and agree on a design we all liked we could all collaborate on together. We pitched all of our ideas together and created a mind map to see visually what we could create through all of our ideas;





Week Four has been the week that creating began, we collected wooden pallets and began to smash them up so that we could place them onto the wall once removing previous fixtures. This took the majority of the lesson as it took time to rip the would apart, we also began to research price lists of other materials we would need such as neon lights, batteries and screws to keep the display together. From this picture you can see how we visualised our project begin displayed, unfortunately I forgot to take a before and after image before adding on the neon lights, therefore here is an image of our display before it was developed and changed to look more consistent.

Week five was more or less the same as the previous, we continued to sand down our pallets and any other necessary treatments to the wood that would be needed before adding in our text and neon lights, some of our deliveries had arrived and some hadn't therefore we were restricted and what to do next.

Week Six has arrived, this is our finale week on the project and things were very productive. Wire and the neon lights had arrived in perfect timing to add them into the display and finish up in time, our one set back was fighting with the wire and sticking it to the neon lights with cable ties but we managed it! We were given the opportunity to change the quote that was suggested to us and so we did, each member of our class suggested a new quote, my was 'Not all those who wander are lost' however the quote chosen overall was 'Dont stop until you are proud' which I think is a great quote that reflects the work ethic of our Media course.
