Final Ideas?

Here, and below, are two designs that I have come up with for possible final design ideas.

I didn't know which would look better, black or white background.

I also had to experiment with various colours, in my case pastel colours (also shown in this post).

Here are the ideas in colour aswell:

 

Sex&Typography Poster

 

This here is a first idea for the project.

Here I have used my handmade type, created based on the idea of Sex - showing stick men having sex in the type.  I tried to alter it by adding paint drips to the type on Photoshop.

This is just a first idea remember - meaning it needs a lot of adjusting to improve it, i.e. the typeface for the rest of the poster and the information on the poster.

"Keep watchin' this space!"

While browsing the internet for Homemade Typography, while at home, I came across the work of Craig Ward.  He has created a typeface using woman, their bodies, parts of their bodies; i.e. breasts, legs etc, and gender symbols to create a very clever typeface.  Below is the letter 'B'...

This typeface has been created by using individual lash extensions, the reason why I put this up is because its a personal interest of mine,  the eyelashes.  Also I think the way its been created is very clever and different.

Handmade type...That I Like.

When browsing the internet I came across a little site that people had published their own type creations, which had been made by hand.

The reason why I put this one up, along with the others, is because I think their really nice and different. 

Here is another typeface I created during one lesson when we had to create a typeface with one word from the book we are creating a poster on, mine is 'Robert Brownjohn...Sex & Typography'

This typeface, like the other Sex one, wouldn't be used for the final poster design due to the type being to literal and obvious as the word is filled with Penis's.

This here is the Ambigram I created for the word 'typography'.

Ambigrams...

Carrying on with the project for Type we looked into Ambigram's...(words that are the same both ways i.e. upside down and the right way.)  As part of the project we were asked to try and create our own ambigrams, of a word relating to the book of choice or our name etc.  In this case I did my name, Amy - as Amee was too differcult.  As you can see if you were to print tis piece of type and turn it upside down it would read exactly the same, again.

I also managed to create the word 'Typography' in an ambigram style, which I will add once I have refined it on the Mac's...

More Type...

For another aspect of this project we were asked to use the words in the Book title, that we are creating the posters for, to create various types from the word, either filling them with objects pattern or colour etc.

The image above shows one of my creations of 'Sex' for this one I used images that I found on the internet of various sex positions demonstrated by little stick men, I used tracing paper to copy the word, in Helvetica Bold, and then traced the stick men images to fill the letter spaces.

I personally think this works very well with this particular word but I don't think it would be something I would use for my handmade poster as the idea of the word Sex filled with Sexual Positions is too Literal and obvious.
