Alphabet Soup. Part One-Glow

The word I picked out of the randomiser for this brief was 'Glow', as a starting point I have looked a typefaces and letter forms that explore the subject of glow.




 
 
 
All these letter forms show a sense of glowing, different techniques are used some are computer aided, created using illustrator and photoshop. Some are done using cameras, changing the exposure and shutter speed, others are made using glowsticks and florecent lighting. These are all ways of working I can look at and explore when designing my letter forms.

What is Graphic Design?...'Viewing the computer as a tool, not letting it dictate our design'

I love this stop motion video by PES, it shows a lot of creativity and imagination, it is also very entertaining. You can see more videos by PES at http://eatpes.com/index.html
