After looking at all of the letterforms, B, E, N & P are my favourites. The mix of handmade and digitally made patterns interests me.

Letterspace | Places, Spaces and Locations

My initial thoughts for this project is to observe my surroundings daily and see what i can use that would be interesting enough to do a piece about.

Initial ideas: Fallowfield, Fridge, Flat 1, Flatmates, Fashion, Flowers, Filters, Flames, Film, Flavours.

I wanted to try different methods of bring a static image to life. Firstly I experimented with 3D type renderings then I moved onto motion graphics. Using 7 F's to represent my 7 flatmates.

I have the letter F for this brief so to start off I have made a gif to show how i think the letter would look if it could swim. Again using a 2 colour colour palette of blue and white.

# data[].attributes.body
For my research I looked at the origins of my favourite fonts, as well as the term 'backslant'.

# data[].attributes.body
Still focusing on the idea of 7, I have now added colour to the different letters, to represent each one of my housemates' favourite colours. I also made the letters bounce around and then fall into place to show the personalities of everyone i live with and how they work together.

Looking at how the letter is formed and its structure.

Using shapes within the letterforms to look into the structure of the letters, using coloured backgrounds.

I wanted to try different methods of bring a static image to life. Firstly I experimented with 3D type renderings then I moved onto motion graphics. Using 7 F's to represent my 7 flatmates.

Using ASCII Art lettering generator I looked more into how letters can be formed with different lines and even the letterform itself.

# data[].attributes.body
As well as creating an alphabet I wanted to look into calligraphy and hand written lettering, so i created a font using my own handwriting which is fully working and useable.

# data[].attributes.body
For the development aspect I wanted to use the idea of a backslant and use it to create an alphabet of backslanted and italic letters that are not instantly recognisable.

# data[].attributes.body
Focusing on everything around me and looking at different types of F's I can find.

# data[].attributes.body
I have now decided what I’m going to focus my letter on. That being ‘flat one’ and my ‘flatmates’. My initial idea was to use the idea of seven (because that’s how many live in the flat) and use dots/lines etc to represent the idea of seven. The lines join together and overlap to represent how we are connected to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
So now I have chosen a colour scheme to make my work look more cohesive. I have decided to create a series of 'poster' type images using the alphabet to create patterns.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is what I managed to create from the letters in the alphabet.

My letter represents my flat. I live in a flat of seven, everyone is represented by a different colour that they have chosen. And each letter moves in its own way but at the end all the letters end up together. Representative of how our relationship works within the flat.
