Leeds Public Arts

For the Leeds Public Arts brief, Angus and I experimented with photographing type. This is a relative subject as the book we are producing is photography based, containing many photos from members of the community. This would tie in with our design for the cover, flow chart and page layouts.

Here's a few shots of today's progress, we used the vinyl cutter to create type-stickers('Beauty in the Ordinary' - The publications title), then we photographed the stickers on the stone floor, this brought the title into the environment which the book is highly focused on; our local community.

The outcomes were good, they have potential, but some alterations need to be made. We plan to change the text to a sans-serif typeface to ease readability and create more of a focal point on the cover. Also, the colour of the typeface will be toned down, the red here looks luminous against the stone, it's a bit too much..
