I've applied the colours mentioned to my final letter. I decided to use the stone colour as the background as it was the colour used on the walls in the flats. I then used the eggshell colour for the letter as we used it for the woodwork, therefore took up less space in the flats.

In the book - 'Handwritten, expressive lettering in the digital age', Websters discusses the art of 'scrawling' - which is to 'write, draw, or mark awkwardly, hastily, or carelessly'. This is an attempt to create expressive lines and lettering that can often not be repeated. I attempted the while constructing my letters. I decided to carelessly let my paint drip/physically paint in a careless manner in order to create a range of outcomes. This is what led me to my developed idea, where I was less precious about the final outcome, and decided to be more hasty in which I splattered the paint onto the page. This creates an improvised and expressive final outcome.

I remember spending a lot of time on a new build of flats at a location in Wrexham (where I'm from). We worked together here over a period of over a year, where much time was spent with just my mum and I alone in the house. When we finally got to the final colours, we used Johnstone's Pale Stone paint as well as Farrow & Ball's black eggshell paint on the wood. I have lots of memories here relating to my concept and find that these colours hold significance. I could take these colours and apply them to my image.

I decided to go for this experiment that I made - I feel as though it is more in line with my concept in terms of expressing the idea of messiness. It also looks like someone has attempted to wipe away the tail of the p - linking to how the paint in which is spilled is cleaned up from the floor/surface. I increased the size of the image so it fills the page more, as well as this I moved the image so it's off centre. I will now explore some more colour palettes which I can relate to my concept as well as look aesthetically pleasing.

Final Idea - Critical Assessment Comments

# data[].attributes.body
I received some feedback from my final idea on 21/10/20 critical assessment. From my comments, I aim to further consider a more complementary and interesting colour palette related to my concept perhaps in a different way. As well as this, I may re-evaluate my chosen letterform and choose one that conveys my idea of 'mess' a little bit better.  I will also play with letter placement on the image; possibly moving the letter so it isn't centred neatly on the page so it looks less uniformed and more messy looking.

Book - 'Handwritten expressive lettering in the digital age'.
I noticed some similarities in the way I was working to some examples of lettering in this book. In particular, handwritten typography known as 'scrawling'. Here, I found this example which I find to be of similar nature as my own in terms of how the letters look (paint/ink spills/drops) and how they create a sense of mood and atmosphere. As commented below, in this case the typography seems violent, where the letters are sprawled across the page. I'm interested in this piece and how - although similar in appearance - using the same technique can create different moods.

I remembered this article from the summer project, which discusses gender in typography. I think it's useful for me to read over topics like this to underlie my future designs, and also to consider if/how my own letterforms could play a part in political and societal topics.

After research on my original favourite three ideas; Wales, Pamplona and Skiing, I have found that I'm not very excited by what I can create. After considering even more ideas and comprising a long list of new ideas without being precious about the final outcome, I have decided to change my course of action and now explore the place/space of where I used to work - as a painter and decorator back at home with my mum. I will create a mind map to discuss further ideas and plan to recreate the droplets of paint that my mum would often trail behind her by accident while in work. This is a memory and brings a sense of sentiment to me which is why I've chosen this route instead.

Using a colour palette I took from a Spanish poster, I digitally manipulated a found image from San Fermin. This is a basic idea/sketch which I could possibly develop work from. However, I don't like how it is not obviously a letter 'P', so is more conceptual. I soon decided after creating this letter that I would reject this specific pathway and idea and move to one I was more excited about.

C is for...

Benjamin Franklin reportedly wanted to banish C from the alphabet-along with J, Q, W, and X-and replace them with six letters he invented himself. Doing so, Franklin claimed, would simplify the English language. Word nerds will appreciate these grammar jokes.

E is for...

Meet the "Smith" of the English alphabet-e is used more often than any other letter. It appears in 11 percent of all words, according to an analysis of more than 240,000 entries in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. Did you know there used to be six more letters in our alphabet?

F is for...

Anyone educated in today's school system knows that the lowest grade you can get is an F. The low-water mark, however, used to be represented by the letter E. When Mount Holyoke College administrators redesigned the grading system in 1898, professors worried that students would think the grade meant "excellent." According to , F more obviously stands for "failure" or "failed."

H is for...

H might be the most hated letter in Britain, according to Michael Rosen, author of Alphabetical: How Every Letter Tells a Story. For almost two thousand years, Brits have pronounced H two ways: 'aitch' and 'haitch.' Accents that dropped the H from words were once considered lower class, Rosen writes. What's more, different pronunciations of the letter also distinguished the Catholics from the Protestants in Northern Ireland.

P is for...

This may be the most versatile letter in English. It's the only consonant that needs no help in forming a word sandwich with any vowel: pap, pep, pip, pop, pup.

R is for...

The letter R is sometimes referred to as the " littera canina," or canine letter. In Latin, the way speakers trilled the R sounded like a growling dog. William Shakespeare even gave the letter a shout-out in his play Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet's nurse calls the letter R "the dog's name" in Act 2, scene 4.

T is for...

The term "T-shirt" got its name for the 'T' shape of the body and sleeves. It is a relatively new word, too. According to TodayIFoundOut, F. Scott Fitzgerald was reportedly the first person to print the term "T-shirt" in 1920, when the main character in his novel This Side of Paradise brings a T-shirt with him to boarding school.

V is for...

V is the only letter in the English language that is never silent, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Think about it: Even unusual letters like Z and J are silent in words we have borrowed from foreign languages, such as marijuana (originally a Spanish word) and laissez-faire (French).

X is for...

From "X marks the spot" to "solve for x," this is the go-to letter to represent something unknown. The idea is believed to have come from mathematician René Descartes, who used the last three letters of the alphabet to represent unknown quantities in his book The Geometry. He chose a, b, and c to stand for known quantities.

I researched the letter p in a more literary manner, focussing on the history and use in different languages. I'm interested in its origin in the Phoenician symbol pe, which was adopted by the Greeks as pi (Π). I could look at how I can link this to a place or location, as I am fascinated with Ancient Greek culture and history. I was also intrigued by its stance in the English language as a silent letter in some words. I think if I explored this in the context of place and location, I could produce some interesting imagery to communicate how the letter appears vs sounds in the English language. However, I would need to consider how to relate this to a space/place/location.

P, p [Called 'pee']. The 16th LETTER of the Roman ALPHABET as used for English. It originated in the Phoenician symbol pe, which was adopted by the Greeks as pi ( Π), an earlier form of which the Romans adopted as P.

In English, the letter p is normally pronounced as a voiceless bilabial plosive, as in pip. Phonetic variations in English include a less aspirated value after initial s, as in spot, and an unreleased plosive before other consonants, as in slipped (as opposed to the gently released p in slipper). In final position, spoken /p/ may or may not be released: slip, snap.

(1) Final p is normally single ( tap, step, tip, stop, cup, kidnap, worship), the form steppe probably reflecting FRENCH or GERMAN spelling, as the original RUSSIAN has only single p. Monosyllables double the final p after a single short vowel before a suffix beginning with a vowel ( stopping, stopper, stopped). Few polysyllables end in p; if they do, the p is generally not doubled before suffixes: galloped, gossiping, syrupy. However, BrE treats kidnap, worship as though based on monosyllables ( kidnapped, worshipping), though AmE often follows the polysyllabic pattern ( kidnapped, worshiping). (2) The doubling of medial p after stressed simple short vowels is inconsistent, as in the pairs apple/chapel, pepper/leper, copper/proper. In coppice there is doubling, whereas related copse has a single p. (3) When p is preceded by some Latin prefixes, it is doubled because of the assimilation of a consonant, as in apparent (ad-parent), oppose (ob-pose), suppress (sub-press).

(1) The nasal equivalent of p is m. The phonetic closeness of the sounds represented by these letters has prompted an epenthetic p after m in empty (earlier emti), and in the variants sempstress/seamstress, Thompson/Thomson, and Hampstead/Hamstead (part of London and part of Birmingham, respectively). (2) Phonetically, there may be the same epenthetic p-quality in dreamt ('drempt') as in empty. (3) The p in related forms such as redeem/redemption, consume/consumption has been carried over from Latin etyma. See EPENTHESIS, ETYMON.

(1) The DIGRAPH ph with the value /f/ originated as the Latin transcription of Greek phi ( Φ), which originally had the value of a heavily aspirated /p/ (comparable to the sound in uphold). Ph pronounced /f/ occurs almost only in roots of GREEK origin ( pharmacy, philosophy, photograph), but has been adopted by analogy in occasional words of non-Greek derivation, such as nephew (compare French neveu, German Neffe), BrE sulphur (compare LATIN and AmE sulfur). The ph in the name Stephen is pronounced /v/ and is alternatively v as in Steven. (2) Ph before th is often pronounced /p/, for example 'diptheria' for diphtheria, 'dipthong' for diphthong, 'opthalmic' for opthalmic, and this leads to spellings without h. See F.

(1) Initially, in words of Greek derivation before n ( pneumonia), s ( psalm), t ( pterodactyl), producing combinations that, if pronounced, would be alien to English phonology. Middle English sometimes omitted p in salme, salter, but in Modern English it is seen in psalm, psalter, pseudo-, psittacosis, psoriasis, psyche, , ptomaine, etc. Of GAELIC origin, ptarmigan probably acquired its p by analogy with Greek derivations. (2) Occasionally, as when preceding a syllable beginning with its voiced equivalent b, the sound of p is assimilated, so effectively becoming silent, as in cupboard ('cubberd'), raspberry ('razb(e)ry'). (3) The p of receipt is an etymologically motivated insertion and was formerly often also inserted in conceit and deceit, but Samuel JOHNSON kept it only in receipt on grounds of common usage. (4) Silent p occurs in sapphire, whose first p was introduced to MIDDLE ENGLISH safir on etymological grounds. It also occurs in such French loans as corps and coup. (5) Whether p is pronounced after m in, for example, empty, exempt, tempt, prompt, consumption (as well as in dreamt) is unclear; at all events, the preceding bilabial m prepares the lips for p and is released as for /p/ with the following consonant.
