*Typographical Installation*

Typographical Installation workshop inspired by 4Creative!
Using only Cardboard boxes and tape we created an installation in a group using the word 'restore.' I think this refected our feelings about the shop very well as we were restoring the space when creating our artwork. We marked an 'X' on the floor near the entrance, and this was the spot in which the piece would all make sense and fit together. We chose the spot near the door as when people were looking in or just approaching the shop hey would be able to see it. As well as this it gave us the chance to use the whole of the upper area of the shop, which we did do! We cut out the letters out of cardboard boxes and for many of them partially restored them by sticking the letter back in the box. Because we were working in a group all the letters looked unique but fitted well together as we communicated well. The end product blended in to the wooden walls slightly which meant you had to look for it but when you found all the letters you couldnt miss them! I really enjoyed this workshop and think the outcome was a great success :)
