Alphabet Soup: Visual Thinking Evaluation

For alphabet soup brief we had to create 10 letter forms (they could be different , or the same & any letter).10 - 10x10 resolutions each representing a well crafted and clearly presented typographic form.We created these letterforms based on a word we selected from the randomiser. my work was 'POP'.


I approached this brief by looking at different aspects of the word pop. I wanted to make my final pieces all individual and visually interesting. I used a range of techniques such as pen lines, bleeding ink and tracing paper. I think some of my letters were stronger than others. my favourite was the 'B' with the gradient effect using only dots, it was a time consuming, but i think the end product is worth it. 

I think i struggled slightly with legibility, if i was to do this brief again that is what i would improve. I also think i didn't generate enough developments, therefore there are some weak lettersin my final 10.

Overall i happy with the work i produced how ever if i was to do this again i would spend more time researching and generating ideas, before jumping in and producing my final pieces.

I found this crit really useful, It was interesting to see other peoples work swell as get there opinion on my own work. As a group we had to decide which 5 of our 10 letters were the strongest. It was hard to pick out of people work, and to be constructive with out hurting peoples feelings. Over all i really enjoyed this brief in particular the final crit. It was good to see what other people thought of my work and to see what other people had created.
