L

Using my first initial we were told to form a pattern I chose to use a serif font, I locked the two letters together one being rotated upside down which formed what looks like a roman numeral.



Here I chose a sans serif font to create pattern but rotating the letters to form a repetitive pattern.



With this we were told to use a our intial again but in lower case, I didnt think about this pattern I just did it and that seems to be the best way because it turned out to be quite successful I didnt intend to make an image out of it just somehow happened and it looks quite like a castle or something out of mario lol!

With the three words using the same font and alignment throughout we had to make each word a different hierarchy so they were read at different times.

Here I made the words all the same weight so they could be read easily one after the other.


The next one I did was that confused had to be read first then stretch then lastly boom. To make confused read first I put a black background behind it and made the text white, I then made stretch bold and boom light and italic.



I then made confused black and bold, stretch grey and bold and boom grey and the weight light so the different words could be read with all of a different hierarchy.



I then made confused all in CAPITALS and bold, then stretch I made the leading higher so the letters were furthur apart and boom was grey with the weight light.

Stretch

Using a the word stretch now we had to goo through the same process but using a different font I chose the font Helvetica Nue. This shows stretch as it would be said normally in conversation.



I then showed stretch loudly by centering the text and making it bold.



I then showed stretch very slowly by changing the weight of the font and I also split the word into two making it extra slow to read.



I then had to make stretch even slower to read so I stacked the letters on top of each other to make it harder as well as slower to read.

Confused

Using a serif or sans serif font we were to create the word using weight, leading, and kerning to show an action, the first one I did was to say the word confused normally like you were having a conversation with somebody. I used the font Gill Sans.





I then went on to show confused quietly changing the weight and size of the font.



After I showed confused loudly by using the Gill Sans Bold and changed the leading of the letters closer and made the size of the font larger and aligned the text central.



I then showed confused as if you were saying it slowly I set the leading high so the letters were far apart from each other I also chose Gill Sans light as it makes not so easy to read.



Next we then to create the word confused on how we say it I was saying so the fused of confused was loud and long and the con of confused was quick. I used different weights to show this and leading to have it spaced out evenly.
