Edible Type

We were given a festive brief at christmas which was to create a piece of edible type by ourselves or in a group. As I am usually more comfortable at working on my own I decided to push myself to do more teamwork so I put myself in a team with friends Connell and Hannah. I am not a big fan of typography therefore I thought I would not enjoy this task as much, however I found it enjoyable.

 My idea was to create the comic sans font that all designers hate and make it out of fun fluff rice crispy treats! The recipe was easy, we melted butter in a pan and then added the marshmallow fluff and heated it up. We then stirred in rice crispies and sprinkles. The hardest part was to mould the treats into the letters because it was really sticky!

 Doing this brief allowed me to see a different side to typography and made me really enjoy looking into fonts and type. It has inspired me to look at different methods when looking at design and how you can experiement with methods other than something more traditional. 

Stop Bombing Syria Protest

I went to a protest in Leeds that was against bombing Syria as I feel strongly about this political message. I wanted to look at the public made campaign posters and use of Graphic Design. Going to this event inspired me to look into political driven design and how you can put your point across in a strong way. It was great to see that people came to stand up for the innocent civilians that will die due to our governments decision to bomb Syria.
