Typographic Animation

Assignment typographic animation
Unit credit 48
Date set 25 October 2007
Deadline 22 November 2007
Tutor Wayne & Jimbo

BACKGROUND
Using a passage of text from a piece of creative
literature chosen by you experiment with a creative out
put. This does not mean a design magazine, it should
be an emotive, descriptive and engaging sentence,
paragraph or page. Your solution should rely predominantly
on an innovative typographic treatment, that
represents the feelings, structure, description, action,
personality or your own visual interpretation of events.
Images can be used sparingly to support your type.
Choose a medium which is appropriate to your
material.

THE BRIEF
The first Waterstones book shop opened on old brompton
road london in 1982, by 2003 the company had
grown to become the uk’s largest specialist bookseller
trading from almost 200 high street outlets across the
uk, ireland and the rest of europe.
Waterstones reputation over the last 20 years has
been built on an unparralled high street range of books,
an enthusiastic and knowledgable bookseller who are
happy to recommend the best books to their customers.
Waterstones wish to create a unique, non interactive,
typographic experience that will help to maintain
customer loyalty and draw in new customers and
encourage them to read.
To reinforce their brand proposition the Waterstones
web site plans to host a series of on line literary pieces
which commented on the pleasure that reading a good
book brings.
You do not need to use the corporate Waterstones
typeface or include its branding, Be creative, be
dynamic, be adventurous, be organised.

OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS
This assignment is about a creative response rather
than a purely technical exercise, it is not about designing
a website, movie, print campaign but more about
encouraging its viewers to read! 24 frames per second
Considerations
Image quality, memory size, presentation, typeface,
readability, hiarachy, ideas, conceptualisation, visulalisation.

Communauty project...

prof&miss

 Brief
Make a communauty or group of people do something. The outcome must be positive.

Come up with an idea which effects a community for the greater good. This community could be a graphic design community, students, tutors, Lincoln businesses, shoppers, classmates, traffic wardens.
Anyone you think would benefit from a great idea.

It might be something visual, that you want to entertain the shoppers in Lincoln high street. Anything which produces a positive outcome.

The challenge is that a piece of communication must work. You have to get your project to a finished stage try it and document your results to present in class. You can work in a team if you require.

You must send us at least one subversive guerrilla message via the royal mail. The rest of material must be presented to the group for discussion. There are no rules so amaze us.

My new subject...

throughts...

-forget technology. creativity is not device dependent
- the problem with software is that everyone has it
- when the outcome drives the process we only go where we've been
- If the process drives the outcome we don't know where we're going until we get there
- wander aimlessly exploring adjcencies
- using good tools amplifies capacity
- don't enter competitions, they're not good for you
- the world is more exciting than television or computers
- if you forget the words make something up instead
- break it, bend it, scratch it, smach it, fold it, use it,
- use old technology made obsolete by the economic cycle
- things happen when you least expect them to
- ideas occur between times
- jump fences and cross boundaries
- laughter feeds creativity
- creativity only happens when people feel comfortable
- just because you lie something doesn't make it good
- time is a luxury, don't waste it on trivia
- there will be a future, it will be good, you will be there
- brand image encompasses all our dreams, fears and ambitions

Informal Chronic

medium_3.jpgDans le cadre de mon atelier d'Edition Papier, je réalise un livre, qui se nomme "Informal.Chronic". Je compte le réaliser dans le cadre de mon workshop à l'ecole de Lincoln en Angleterre.

 

Ce livre serait un livre de dessins, de croquis préparatoire à mes "Conversation Pieces", suivi de bribes de mots, des codes pour comprendre ces scènes de genre.

Pour voir les dessins aller dans album, "Informal.Chronic".
