alphabet

This weekend I created my own font. I started by writing my own handwriting and then adding lines and dots and curving certain parts of the letters more or less. I really like the outcome and think it wouldn’t be out of place on a font website.

I then made an alphabet out of pick n mix sweets. I worked out what shapes I needed to make each letter and then went to buy the sweets. It took a very long time and I had to clip some of them in place and leave them over night to fix in position, but the result was definitely worth it. It’s fun and colourful and I’m really happy with it!

For the past couple of weeks I’ve felt really down and have questioned whether I want to stay on this course or not. After my photography + styling presentation I felt very unmotivated and upset, but have made the decision to stay until the end of the year. The previous business studies project has given me the idea to start my own online clothing shop as with 20,000 followers (and counting) on tumblr, I’ll have an immediate audience to sell to.

On the 19th of January me and my friend Max travelled in to London for the class trip to the Guy Bourdin exhibition and the National Portrait Gallery. We first went for lunch at my favourite restaurant, Imperial China, and then to the exhibitions. I love the overtly sexual element to Guy Bourdin’s work and think this may be an interesting thing for me to look in to more in this project.
