Induction Week Project 1

Induction week 1: Experimenting with Letterforms feedback

  • Diverse range of methods and broad material usage
  • Creative and highly experimental outcomes that have a clear and consistent theme and aesthetic throughout. 
  • Only 2 negatives are the 2 images that are the same but inverted. Could be grouped together in one post to allow for more outcomes.

  • Spinning tape video is cool. 
  • To say it’s just a circle, some are pretty creative.
  • The orange segments look freaky in black and white.
  • Try on a larger scale. 
  • Outstanding photos that you have really captured the letter you are highlighting.
  • Everything is different and every idea succeeds in term of how exciting it is.
  • Maybe more use of going out and discovering more outside.
  • Professional looking photography and good use of further manipulating an image digitally.
  • It has a strong theme with the thread all complimenting each other.
  • I enjoyed the spinning tool video as it was so subtle but worked so well.
  • A lot of the same processes used, with slight alternations to the image.
  • Maybe force yourself to push the boundaries more and look at less digital processes. (But I feel the digital ones are most successful.)
  • Love the way you used both existing materials/objects and digital experiments. 
  • The video with the turning blur is quite interesting because it gives a moving/evolving shape to the O.

Overall what was found most successful was our use of digital manipulation and how experimental we were with finding a simple shape and making it interesting. The most critical feedback was to explore more photography outside. I personally agree with the feedback that the digital work was most successful as I got to explore different fonts, grids and manipulations that I usually wouldn't with type. I think there was many photos taken outside which was a lot of the critical feedback. However based on people's interpretations (e.g the feedback calling the video of a spinning coin a spinning 'blur') I believe they were manipulated in a way that conveys the letterform abstractly rather than literally which I found more successful such as the image of a wheel that looks almost like a print.
