Type face research.





For my final piece I'm planning to create a Book cover on vegetable's, in the style of an old fashioned seed packet, so therefore i went through a book of vintage packaging and looked at the font's used, jotting them down as i went along, so that i could have some inspiration for when i create my own type face, i have created a small gif of pages from the book that i used for this experiment.

I took some screen shots of other vegetable/gardening books i'd seen on pinterest to help me learn what conventions to include on my final piece.

Watercolour leaf repeat pattern experiment.






At this point on the course i know that i want to use watercolour for my final piece, so i started looking at different watercolour techniques i could use later on for my final and i came across this idea, i followed the steps in the book to create this pattern. 

Watercolour and Mono-print experiment.


The above image was the piece i was inspired by to create the pictures below. I wanted to experiment with watercolour techniques so that i can figure out what i want to use for my final piece.
