Evaluation

Overall this project has been a stream of experimentation, at the start of this process outcome was not a factor. After starting my first ideas I was restricted by facilities this left me forced to use one laser cut process although at first this was a hindrance as I began to experiment with shape, light, texture and form I saw a simple process could become more complex.
Auto graphic typography is something I really relate to I wanted to take experimental calligraphy from section one of the brief further using experimental method to develop my letter forms, using a structured guide to work from. The expressive nature of low-fi  letter forms opposed to their Hi- fi counterpart parts really inspired me in this project the text itself I felt deserved an organic feel due to its context, which would then relate to the countryside, but then take the form of the urban environment in which it was placed.
If I had time to do this project again I would discuss time management as I feel although my body of work is substantial development in this area could always be improved, moreover I would have liked to spend more time in the photography phase of the project, and to develop the media of projection. My final outcomes achieved what I had set out to do (Taking a countryside poem into an urban environment) I felt I had learnt new aspects of typographic elements, Kerning, grid layout, leading and weight and applied these successfully to my project.
