Wednesday..
We had a meeting today with Luke and Ben who gave us a talk that it was really interesting.Basically it was about typography starting from old time coming towards futurist and avant-garde, Dada and Fluxus movemnts until how typography is used today.More or less is being showed how graphics being used as a tool using type and image and that grid can be used to bring out the content of whatever that is.i remember a reasearch i did when i was at the foundation on fluxus and dada about exploring the theme of typography how was applied.i manage to get some visuals from that talk and i will upload some that interest me most.Now back to the project..my very first idea was to target architects for my audience in order to play with the leyout as it is required for part 3.Do some research on architectural books,seeing plans,front-side views and generate from the overall layouts of my own.But as i have said to the previous post i wasnt sure if they'd like this idea.So after the talk,ideas and concepts were playing in my mind.Such as...THE SUN is a tabloid and not for very intelectual people,it's making gossip about celebreties,famous people and sometimes it says things that may not be true.So it i thought of making THE SUN into a broadsheet,visually to have a really designed content,more structured layout and that to aim into high society like bussinessmen.Give a false impression and make it more sophisticated.I did 3 pages in my sketchbook which i really find inspiring..we will see what the next day will bring when meet our tutors..
