For the Summer Brief i had to produce an alphabet based upon my personality to represent me. At first i wanted to make my type interactive and playful. I narrowed down words that represent me down to music, traveling, street art, Mansfield, awareness and illustration. I wanted to use a big bold type that represents would type i like. I thought that i could experiment with make my type 3d out of paper and card but from my mock up of the letter A i learnt that it didn't look well made, pretty tacky. The idea was to have a bar at the bottom of each letter so they connected with each other. But at the start of the word there would of been a gap in the corner of the first letter so i thought if i made a cube with six sides i could use the words that represent me and colour in each side of the square with the words. As the 3d wasn't successful i made my letters using 2d format and instead of a cube i used 3 rectangles that represent my six words and these were on the front and back of rectangles. Overall i m happy with the project and learnt from the 3d mock up how tricky if is to produce a 3d letter using paper and card.
