Typography

I used a range of fonts for my typographic response. I used transitional system of typography to create these pieces.
I chose to use the Transitional system because i like things in straight lines.

In the first piece i have done the words very scattered and also very spaced out. In this one i have used a variety of fonts for this one ie."Britannic Bold" for the word 'Photograph' in the size 153 pt and also i have used the vertical scale to make the letters longer and more stretched upwards. "Gloucester MX Extra Condensed"for the word 'Memories' in the size 53 pt also i used the vertical stretch to make it longer. "Santa Fe LET Plain:1.0"for the word 'Still' in the size 190.97 pt and i have used distort method to make it look more abstract to the other words on the page and make it stand out. I have also done them in all different sizes to make some words stand out and look more important than the others i.e. 'Photograph' because it is the name of the song and has a big significance in the song, and others not, also some of them are in bold text and stretched out.



In this piece i also used the technique of distorting a few of the words to make them more abstract. To distort some of the words you first you click on Object then Envelope Distort the Reset with Mesh, then use the white arrow to drag the dots that appear on the word to distort it.





To develop the typography i added another verse to fill up the page and not make it so sparse. Also on a few other words i did the distorting.































The difference between these designs is that i have changed the layout, fonts for some of the words and the size. I changed them to have more varieties of the designs and to give me more ideas for the final out come of typography.
By changing the layout of the words gave me more ideas for the final piece. This helped me because them i can merge them together to find the most successful piece for typography.

In this design i have used the Radial System, i have used a range of fonts for this design. I decided to make them a semi circle shape instead of a full one because then i can put them of the side of the page. This is one of the unsuccessful ones because i couldn't be as creative because i had to stick to a certain shape. I made it white with black writing because i wanted it to be simple and effective. 

I decided not to use this design due to me not enjoying the concept and making of it compared to designing the Traditional System. Also i was not to confident about the turning the letters are making them in to the semi circle shape.

I have used the transitional system of typography with it a bit more scattered effect to it. This one is also landscape instead of portrait like the other ones. This piece i have done is very cramped but you can still see the words and the order of them. I have used a variety of fonts of this piece, ie. 'Rosewood Standard' 132 pt, I have used this font on the word Photograph because it looks photographic and creative. i have done it in this size to make it stand out from all the others because its the name of the song, i have also repeated the word in the same font again at the bottom to show that we are going in the chorus again and its a main part of the whole piece. 'Cracked' 80 pt. For the word "ripped' because the font makes it looked ripped and torn just like that a pair of ripped jeans look like, i didn't make the word too big or too small because otherwise you wouldn't get the full appreciation of the font and what it look like.
I used a green/ teal background just so its not to bold and not to pastel with dark words, but I prefer words that are in white with a slightly darker background.
A few of the words have be make bigger and more distorted because them it makes them stand out and more important than the others. I have distorted 4 of the word to make them stand out ie. 'Broken, alone, Never and die'. I chose to distort these ones because i feel that they are important and should be recognised.




Comparison

in comparison for both of the pieces created they both use the transitional typography system. the black and white one is portrait and the green is landscape. Also i feel that the landscape one looked better and would stand out from the rest.

Kate Moross 

The characteristics of this piece is that its very colourful and she has used a lot of different shapes to create this busy look. There is a lot of contrasting colors in this piece by using bright and also primary colors placed on a black background. Lines have been used a lot in this piece e.g.  to create the sea like feel at the bottom of the piece. 

The characteristics of this piece are very colourful and uses a lot of pastel colors in the background. She has used line in this piece quite a lot and its very sketch book like with the hand drawn looking elements in it. By copy and pasting the photo onto the image it makes it looked textured because its a photo of an actual person. The contrast with the bright background and the black and white photography is very effective in this piece as it drags your attention straight to the face of the girl.   

Photography

Photo-shop with Studio photos 

i firstly adjusted to the levels of the photo to make the photo look more sharp. 

i next changed the properties into black and white 

i played around with the colours of black and white to make her lips look quite dark compared to the rest of her face because she was wearing the a dark lip stick at the time.

i next played around with the composition of the photo and used the 'Rule of Thirds' so its not in the centre of the frame.

i changed it to the left side of the frame to see which one looks better.






















this one with Lola on the left looks better because it has more visual impact and that its off centre.

When in photo-shop i changed the exposure to make the image brighter and make the yellow jumper and red lips stand out. Exposure- +1.12 and the Offset- -0.0837

When in photo-shop i played around with the vibrance to make the image look hazy and the yellow jumper not by changing the vibrance to -98 and the saturation to +100. 

I stared playing around with Photo-shop and i have made these two photos too graphic like. i think that these would not be suitable for a photography project but maybe for a graphic project. 

Hana & Nick Editing

in reflection i found that the photos from my photo-shoot with Hana and Nick i found that they didn't come out as i wanted. i prefer the studio photos because the lighting is much better and also shows what i wanted it to portray.  

Annie Leibovitz

When Leibovitz returned to the United States in 1970, she started her career as staff photographer, working for the just launched Rolling Stonemagazine. In 1973, publisher Jann Wenner named Leibovitz chief photographer of Rolling Stone, a job she would hold for 10 years. Leibovitz worked for the magazine until 1983, and her intimate photographs of celebrities helped define the Rolling Stone look.^[5] While working for Rolling Stone, Leibovitz became more aware of the other magazines. Richard Avedon's portraits were an important and powerful example in her life. She learned that she could work for magazines and still create personal work, which for her was the most important. She sought intimate moments with her subjects, who "open their hearts and souls and lives to you". ^[6] She was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography in 2009.

In this photo she had used shallow 'Depth of Field' by having the models face in focus and the background not this draws the viewers eye to the face. The photographer has taken it on a Black and White film.

'Rule of Thirds' has been used for the composition to make the photo more diverse and to fill the frame.
