Typographic Experiments

 My first process was to experiment with type and try out some new ideas for creating interesting type faces by adding pins to type then wrapping them in cotton creates an interesting delicate typeface that has an unstructured movement. The piece would become more interesting with light and shadow photography
 This is a photo of a couple around union street in 1902, using a compass I have added scratched type to see the effect of this to image although the placement of the type is important the effect is effective.
Using techniques I used on the photo above I though about using the passage on something simple like a fruit creating a interesting relief into the skin as the skin degrades the type becomes more interesting. Ideas for these shapes came from my mood board although maybe not built for purpose.
