OUIL403 Visual Skills- Typology (Final Stages)

After refining the ideas for the final images, I went on to start with the final image. I started by drawing borders around the edge and outlining space for the title before going on to layout where the final images would go. I tried to avoid a gridded layout as I though the idea was quite juvenile and needed a 'messier' layout whilst still looking clean.

Having researched other typology posters, I finally decided on a looser layout where the images could sit comfortably in-between each other without using a gridded method which I thought would look a bit boring for this idea.

I chose to have the images in order from A-Z but the have them almost forming around each other into the space. The difficulty of this was deciding how big each of the images was as it could not be measured out. It did take a couple of tempts to get right as I couldn't the size of some of the images right, but got there in the end.

Once all of the images had been laid out and I was happy with the composition of the image I started to go over the images in fineliner and refine them. The process was slow (around 13 hours) to outline everything but I'm quite happy with the clean look of it.

Once all of the images had been outlined I went on to create the title. I decided to again go with quite a clinical style, and the effect was easy to achieve.
