Holly Chapman DSDN101 P1 Type
For this typography exercise, I decided to take my sound bite ("you are always a child of your time...") quite literally and gained inspiration from the child aspect. I focused on the medium in which children get creative with and came up with the idea of finger painting. The colour was important in my type because children are often most attracted to the bright colours and these are often associated with children. The positive lines underneath were an aspect that was needed to give the finger painting shape as the letters would be unrecognizable without it. The types of letter free-handed underneath are also messy like children's. It also resembles to guides that children are often given when they are learning to write, and the way the paint breaks through the lines is childish and playful.
This is me, getting creative with my finger paint!
