In this session of process and production with Nick we were to use typefaces to create abstract prints. We were provided with the typefaces Baskerville Bold, Cooper Standard and Courier Bold. I created three prints, one print for each typeface.
The first print I created was with the typeface Cooper Standard. I wanted to create a rustic loom, making a messy print with the typeface having block colours as well as negative letters as well.
The second print was created with the typeface Baskerville Bold. I went for a similar style to the first poster, however I made the letters a lot smaller. I wanted to create a shadow effect with the poster being dark in one corner and light in the other creating a gradient like effect.
For the final poster, I used Courier bold. I wanted this to be different so I decided to create a cleaner look by having half of the poster with a white background and half with a black background. I wanted to create a mirrored effect, therefore I placed the type in the same positions on both sides as if it was mirrored.
My favourite out of the three was the final poster I created with Courier Bold. I think the opposite halves worked very well and makes the letter forms stand out.
