OUIL403 Visual Skills- Typology (Initial Ideas)

 For the first part of the brief we were asked to produce 10 A-Z lists, containing a rough sketch for each letter. I started the process by writing out lists and choosing my favourites, but quickly learned that the best was to actually develop an idea was to start drawing things from one list and deciding through a process of elimination which ones would work.

After producing some lists I had an idea of which one I wanted to do, the group crit also helped me decide by asking other people what they thought of the ideas.

The final three I was torn between were:

- A-Z of Procrastination
- A-Z Guide to a panicked phonetic alphabet.
- A-Z of things that look a bit 'penisy'

Although my favourite in the was originally the Procrastination idea, I have decided not to go with it as a lot of the topics are situational, and would be harder to illustrate as floating spots.

The phonetic alphabet, I felt, would be easy to illustrate because I could literally choose any word that I wanted, so could choose the easiest to illustrate. However I have decided that I wanted to do something a bit more challenging and interesting.

The Penisy idea was by far the most popular in the group crit, and is in my opinion the most entertaining of my ideas. I also feel I could do a lot with the idea, and had ideas thought out how I wanted the final image would work, so have decided to go with this one and further develop it.
