shop work past 4 weeks

In this workshop we were asked to create and position lettering around the empty shops site.
We were trying to achieve an installation feel to our work really trying to focus on the placement, size,effect and 3rd dimension. We achieved this by using unlikely but useful materials sucha as a box of matches in one exercise and cardboard and tape in another.
For the match box exercise i decided to create the letter B out of tape and the insides of a matchbox. I used both the wall and the floor to position my type as i thought it would give a different look to other letters. Overall i felt my piece was quite a success as i managed to use matches and tape to produce quite a large scale letter. However to some my piece may come across as a bit sketchy and not clear due to some uneven lines and techniques used.
The cardboard letter exercise i felt gave me more of a chance to express my self. As you could work on a larger scale and be alot more creative. My group decided on creating the word flops and i chose to create a 3D letter S. I used a box and cut out the initial shape and then embossed the letter by creating a raised outline of the letter. Although i didn't manage to fully finish my letter i feel it was a success. It went well with one of my colleague's pieces but didnt really fit in with the rest of the groups style.
Projections workshop. This was a fun workshop as i found it interesting playing around with the use of light an shapes created by the light. We made slides for one part of the workshop looking at the use of smaller items such as dust and crums an see what they looked like when enlarged under an OHP projector. Another part of this workshop was creating a light based installation this was the part i most enjoyed. I gave me a chance to express and develop previous ideas. My piece involved a stencil of an object in the room and the use of tape and the surroundings and an uplight.
