Typography

In today's session, I was introduced to typography which is using typefaces within photography. There are certain typefaces that are used within different aspects. Photographers that I looked at were David Carson and Johnny Hardstaff.

Within this session, I completed two tasks using typography. The first task was to create a landscape A4 document within Photoshop and by using the word "typography" I had to fill the page as best as I could making it readable, creative and pleasing to the viewers eye.

The brief stated that the letters could only be 90º (not various angles), I had to use San Serif type, the colours used should be red, black and 50% grey.

For the second task, involved us going out and taking images that fitted the brief he gave us. This is  the brief below;

 

When capturing the images, we were asked to try to capture them with a witty humour to them. Before leaving for the location, I had a few ideas in my mind but it wasn't until I was out shooting that I realised more ideas.

When I had captured the ideas, I went back to the college and edited the images by adding the headings into the images. He wanted a more artistic heading rather than just writing it onto the image. 

These are my images below;

I feel that I was able to capture some good images that fit the description of the brief, I found it a really good task that combined two elements together. Overall, it was really good to experiment with and I would definitely do it again.
