Typography 146DVA Week 1

Finally started the Typography module for 146 DVA. For this module there are two briefs to satisfy in 5 weeks. Sounds easy.... It really isn't. Just started on the first brief for now. Making a contain for a letter that's 200 x 200 x 200 mm as response to a current news story. My first port of call was to decide what story to actually respond to. After searching the internet i found two stories of interest. The stadium name change that was going on at Newcastle United and hackers overloading Facebook with pornographic material. I started to mind map my idea and see where it takes me. As for a response i quick cam up with an idea that would satisfy my my brief to a certain point. The only hurdle was the size of the container. I want to hang a new Facebook logo in the middle of a computer screen. However as soon as you start to take one apart they blow up. It's a good job i questioned this before i started opening one up. To get around this problem i plan to make a vacuum formed container that looks identical to a computer screen. This way it will satisfy the brief.

I will continue to work on my first project brief and start to work on the second brief this week.
