I AM: Further Research

Cucurumbé by Ceci Peralta - 

This is an of research I have found where a grid and typography has been used, this has helped me come up with more ideas for the layout of the type and how it will appear on the grid as a composition. This piece by Ceci Peralta has made me realise that although it is about the type and how it looks and compares to the word it also matters how we look at it as a 

whole composition. 

Hope Strength Courage by Mary Kate McDevitt: 

I was fed up of drawing in grids and I wanted to do something different, this piece by Mary Kate Mcdevitt doesn't use a grid and I think that's its much more up my street in terms of how the composition is presented. I feel that this type of composition is much more creative because of how there are no real restrictions. Working in a grid is great for setting your type but as far as being creative is concerned I found it to be 

quite restrictive. 

My idea inspired by research

This is a design I have created from the further research I have made, some sort of grid has been used to make the type look more geometric and 3 dimensional but I feel that I felt freer when I was making this than i did when I was making the first type using nothing but the grid. 

  I have used the word "MONUMENTAL" in this phrase along with "I am" to create this design, I have focused again on the word and the meaning behind it. Monumental obviously meaning something huge and epic, for this reason I have made the style of the font and whole phrase in fact very bold and looming; I felt that this captured the essence of the word and helped me describe how monumental the phrase actually is. I chose this word in the first place simply because it was the first interesting word that I thought of! I also felt that this word would be able to hold it's own and give me plenty of ideas to what the style of the phrase should appear like. I have created a 3D effect by using a perspective technique where the letter is stretched at an angle to create the effect of a 3 dimensional shape. I feel that I could develop this forward and make some great designs around this word, maybe buildings or an actual monument could be formed out of the phrase which would be very interesting.
