Heres another typography book which is very similar to my previous examples. Here i attempted to experiment using marker and coloured paint pens to create various amounts of ideas that include the words of my chosen exhibition, The Golden Thread Gallery. Personally, I really enjoy experimenting scale and compostition, as i thnk that it helps balance the designs which a few of them can appear more simplistic. I also like to include a variety of elements such as: shape, pattern, colour and angles, which makes the designs look more effective.

Here is another experimental typography Book, again using a lino printing technique. As you can see i have went for a bold colour scheme, as I’ve found that bold colours really enhance the details within a lino print. I have attempted to experiment with creating patterns, especially repeat patterns. I had also taken consideration of other techniques to create more abstract ideas that include: composition, scale, negative space, colour and collage. My aim was to create a series of prints using a variety of colours and with any excess paint or ink i rolled onto a separate page to craete a nice textured background.

Here is a hand-made typography book that was based on my chosen exhibition which is the Golden Thread Gallery. This book contains experimental lettering designs using lino print. On each page it either represents the main key words of the exhibition which are: The Golden Thread Gallery and Vox Hybrida. I’ve also attempted to experiment with various colours of paper to create abstract shapes and then print ontop. Personally I’ve found that creating smaller books works a lot better as i was able to gradually add more designs and ideas. I also like how these book are a great size to work with as it’s much easier, comparing to working on a larger scale.
