Sponge Day 2

I really enjoyed our second sponge day project, it made me more aware of type al around me, i was taking images of everything. It was quite hard to remember all the words that were given to us so i found it easier to photograph everything then match it up to words later.























Here are a few of the images i took for this project.

Brief – TYPEFROG (BalletTech, Pentagram)

What we did:

For this project we were told to only use InDesign and generate content for our final piece that references and analyses our chose piece of design, whether it be good or bad design but focusing on typography as we chose our piece.

At first I found this project quite overwhelming, as I had never used InDesign before and didn’t really know where to start. We got taught the basics to start of this project, but still found myself unsure as to what our outcome had to be.

When I first started to brake down me piece of type and analyses it, I found that it was quite hard the piece was very basic and didn’t have much to it to really analyse and product my own piece. I then spent some time doing the same with another piece of type, again finding it hard to use.

At last I decided on using a piece for BalletTeck, which the company Pentagram designed. This piece was a lot more interesting the pervious ones I had looked at and enjoyed breaking it down and finding information about the way it was put together. This piece wasn’t overly complicated, but I managed to find a lot to use for my own piece and a lot of ideas as to how I could present it, but not be to literal. The main focus of my own outcome was the colours that were used in the piece, and the boxes that were used to contain the text, using the lines to show my annotation of it.
