I’m reaching the end of the ‘Makeability Month’ where we spent a few weeks with second year Graphic Arts tutors pretty much just doing a few fun little projects. I’m usually mixed with Advertising students, so it’s been great to purely focus on Graphics and I’ve really enjoyed doing the work. Best month at uni yet, bring on next year!

At the start of our ‘Makeability Month’ we chose a letter at random out of a bag and I chose…’T'…hence all my outcomes are based around this letter.

3D Type

A T(ea) bag…this was hand sewn (no sewing machine at uni) and took FOREVER, but it was so relaxing sitting there sewing for ages and I think the outcome was worth it.

I also made other forms of 3D type using Tea related objects…visit my Flickr page to see more photos.

Logo

A logo for the financial company ‘Chart’ (well, a fictional company made using the beginning of my name and the letter ‘T’).

I made this using graph paper and strips of coloured paper so although it looks simple is was bloody fiddly to make! Why cut out pieces of paper? Well, we began the day by looking at some of Chermayeff’s work, and apparently that’s all he used to design his logos. Seems like a pretty good technique and at least you won’t delete all your work if you press the wrong button!
